Oracle JDE licensing works like this
- Named User License: Specific individuals are licensed.
- Concurrent User License: Based on the number of simultaneous users.
- Processor License: Tied to the number of server processors.
- Enterprise License: Covers larger organizational needs.
- Metered License: Usage-based, measured by specific metrics.
JD Edwards Pricing Models
1. Server Model-based (Pre-October 1993)
- Basis: Capacity of IBM AS/400 servers.
- User Limitation: No user-based licensing; the number of users was limited only by the server’s capacity.
2. Concurrent User-based (November 1993 – November 1996)
- Basis: Maximum number of concurrent users accessing the software.
- Details: Included a list of products that could be used by many users simultaneously.
3. Suite-based (November 1993 – February 2002)
- Eligibility: Companies with existing suite-based contracts could purchase licenses for additional users and products until February 2004.
- Calculation: License fees were based on a collection of products (the “suite”) and user fees.
4. Solution-based (From February 2002)
- Development: Further developed in 2004 to become the basis for PeopleSoft’s solution pricing model.
- Flexibility: Allowed end-users to purchase specific components rather than entire suites.
5. Enterprise Licensing
- Scope: Permits unlimited users.
- Customization: Allows organizations to purchase individual products as needed.

JDE Licensing Models
1. Component Pricing
- Model: “A la carte” pricing, allowing products to be purchased individually.
- Metrics: Pricing varies based on metrics such as the number of employees for HR/Payroll products or the cost of goods sold for supply chain products.
2. Custom Application Suite (CAS) Pricing
- Customization: Enables organizations to bundle various products into a custom suite tailored to their needs.
- Restrictions: Some products are not available under CAS pricing but can be combined with component-based licenses.
