- Definition
- Named Workstation User: is defined as an individual authorized by You to use the Programs which are installed on a single server or multiple servers, regardless of whether the individual is actively using the Programs at any given time. For the purposes of the Oracle VM VirtualBox Enterprise Program, Named Workstation User licensing may only be applied to single-socket devices where only one named user is using Oracle VM VirtualBox Enterprise or is connecting to the virtual machines on Oracle VM VirtualBox Enterprise. A non human operated device will be counted as a named workstation user in addition to all individuals authorized to use the Programs, if such devices can access the Programs. If multiplexing hardware or software (e.g., a TP monitor or a web server product) is used, this number must be measured at the multiplexing front end. Automated batching of data from computer to computer is permitted.
- Counting rules
- For Oracle VM VirtualBox Enterprise, Named Workstation User licensing may only be applied to single-socket devices where only one named user is using Oracle VM VirtualBox Enterprise or is connecting to the virtual machines on Oracle VM VirtualBox Enterprise. Count every individual authorized to use the Programs (whether or not actively using them) plus each non-human operated device that can access the Programs. If multiplexing hardware or software (e.g., a TP monitor or a web server product) is used, this number must be measured at the multiplexing front end. Automated batching of data from computer to computer is permitted. Devices with more than one socket, or more than one Named Workstation User, must use Socket licensing instead.
