OBIEE Users License

Noha Shaaban

Hello,

I'd like to know more about user licensing in OBIEE. I have now 300 users and I've been told the license doesnt allow any more user creation.

In case I need more users, how does this usually go? Do I get a license for each single user?

Thanks in advance,

Noha

Hi,

Depends on your license.

If you have named users license you must have a license for every single user you have.

The easiest is to get in touch with your Oracle account manager to make a point about your current licensing and define your new needs or the limitations you have now to fix to not exceed the license you have.

PS: there isn't any limit in the tool blocking you, but if you create more users that the license you have it's illegal and you can have issues with Oracle, so better to always be sure about the license you have.

Thanks for your reply.

So how much does it cost to buy a user license? Is there a possibility to change my license from user license to something more flexible?

Get in touch with your Oracle account manager (or Oracle contact person you have).

He will be the only able to give you a price based on your current license and your new needs and will also be able to answer your questions about changing the kind of license etc.
