    Why would it? For what purpose?

    As Tim pointed out, for the life of the instance it is recorded in V$LICENCE.

    If you wan't it to span over instance restarts simply create BEFORE SHUTTDOWN trigger and store tha value in your own table.

    This, however, will not record it in the cases when instance terminates as a result of a failure (shutdown abort or instance crash)....

    Well the Purpose can be to find out whether the user is compliant with the licenses in case of a software audit.

    If the oracle customer has licenses based on names user and if for somereason has a software audit then this is where they can find out the max sessions ever reached.

    Please correct me if I am wrong.

    Thanks

    What does the number of sessions have to do with named users?

    Yes, you are wrong.

    If the customer has licensed based on named users, maximum concurent sessions reached during the lifetime of the database can tell absolutely nothing wether the customer is compliant with his licence agreement or not.

    Suppose I have 50 named users licenses for my system. Now I can have 51, 100, 250, 1000 (or whatever number you want) of concurent sessions on my database and still I'm totaly within limits of my license, as long as all those concurent sessions were created by those 50 named users.

    Hi,

    Would it be fair if the license be based on the no. of
    concurrent sessions rather than named users or schema ids?


    Thanks

    Would it? Ask Oracle why they switched from concurent sessions model to named users model few years ago....

    Would it be more fair, yes. Would it result in more revenue for Oracle, no.

    Si this means that if I have 50 users (schemas) created in my database i need to have a names user license for 50 even though only 10 of them use the database at any given time.

    Also what about thoase people who purchased a concurrent user license few years back and now oracle doesnt have concurrent liceneses. Do we need to switch to named users or we can continue concurrent user license.

    Thanks

    number of schemas has nothing to do with named users. You could have 200 schemas and only 10 named users (ala Oracle Apps).

    Your specific licensing questions should be addressed by your legal department or your Oracle Sales weasel.
