Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

We recently purchased 20 licenses from an authorized rep. and received only one set of discs.

 We started loading the cd on several computers. My question is: will the CD continue to load after the 20th install? We're not trying to use more than we bought - it's possible that we may load it on someone's machine and they may never use it so we would want to be able to install it on another machine. Will the CD know how many times it's been used?

Hi David,

If you are setting up a client / server network, you will be able to install the application on as many machines as you like.  Your user community are managed with each user being allocated a license by the DBA.  The server will limit the number of active users to the number of licenses you have purchased.  You can have more users in your pool but can only allocate the number of licenses you have purchased. 

Hope this helps.

Oracle's licensing conditions are very easy to follow. It is YOUR responsibility not to exceed the licenece count you have bought, someone in your organisation has agreed and signed for that.

The CD will install for ever.
