WebCenter Sites2,000100,00022,000

Licensing Scenario

For instance, if an organization intends to license a server with WebCenter Sites and they have 50 Named User Plus, the total licensing cost would be:

  • 50 (Named User Plus) * $2,000 (Cost per Named User Plus) = $100,000.

If they choose to license a server with four cores of Intel, the licensing cost would be calculated as follows:

  • Oracle Processor Licenses required = 0.5 (Oracle’s core factor for Intel) * 4 (Number of cores) = 2.
  • The total cost is 2 (Oracle Processor Licenses) * $100,000 (Cost per Processor License) = $200,000.

This product can be purchased individually or as part of an Oracle ULA.
