1067.0. "Oracle and RUNTIME licensing???" by DOD2::PARKER () Tue Jan 21 1992 15:50

    I am looking at an Oracle quote and am a little confused about some of
    their terms.
    
    	Specifically - the line item which reads - 
    
    		"Runtime - conversion cluster licence for SQL/Forms
    		"Runtime - conversion cluster licence for SQL/Plus
    		"......				      for SQL/Report
    
    
    Does the term RUNTIME have the same meaning as an Rdb/VMS Runtime?  I
    thought Oracle had no runtime license.  Any comments....

1067.1Just a DiscountTRCOA::MCMULLENKen McMullenSat Jan 25 1992 14:595
    They are getting creative, in order to win business. They usually
    discount about 50% after the first license has been sold. The
    discounted license is generally referred to as the "run time" version.
    We have also seen them quote user based licenses, but then switch back
    to regular licensing.
