Which should you use to license your Oracle database - Named User Plus or Processor?

Oracle Standard Edition One, Standard Edition and Enterprise database editions can be licensed using Named User Plus (NUP) or Processor metrics. Please see the list below for the pros and cons of using each or call our Oracle licensing experts now on 08700 433877. 

Named User Plus (NUP)

When should I use it?

In environments where users can be counted

What are the benefits?

Cost effective when number of users is low

What are the downsides?

High maintenance: number of users often changes

Counting users, devices and non-human operated devices can be tedious ­

Processor

When should I use it?

In environments where users are uncountable, i.e. Internet
Easy to track: customers know their hardware and number of processors

What are the benefits?

Low maintenance: hardware does not change frequently, rare need for additional software licenses

What are the downsides?

Generally makes sense to license by Processor when your NUP count is very high (typically > 50 NUP)
