UDA Single-Tier Pricing & Licensing

OpenLink Single-Tier format drivers (aka Lite) conform to the common perception of how ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, and OLE DB drivers are configured. They are installed on the client, customized to a particular database, and use the database vendor's networking middleware to connect to remote databases.

Data Access Mechanisms include:

  • ODBC
  • JDBC
  • ADO.NET
  • OLE DB

Remote connections are only achievable via the relevant database engine vendor databse specific networking middleware e.g. (Net8, SQL*Net, I-Connect, I-Net, Ingres Net, Open Client, Progress Client Networking etc.). You must acquire these independently from the relevant database vendor prior to using our Single-Tier Drivers.

LICENSING

The OpenLink Single-Tier drivers are licensed by implementation architecture:

Each format is packaged as either a Suite or a Driver-specific product

CLIENT-SERVER LICENSING

The Single-Tier client-server licensing model applies to traditional client-server computing infrastructures in which these drivers are installed on a per PC basis. This licensing model only applies to the following operating systems:

Windows (95/98/NT/2000/XP Standard and Professional Editions only. This doesn't apply to NT/2000/XP/2003 Server Editions which are licensed under the Application / Web Server model)

Mac OS X and Mac OS Classic (note this doesn't apply Mac OS X Server Edition which is licensed under the Application / Web Server model ).

Linux (standard and professional editions of the various distributions; SuSE, RedHat, Mandrake etc. But not including any Enterprise Editions of these distributions).

The unit cost is based on number of users and database sessions:

Example 1:
1 Workstation requiring 1 database session = 1 Concurrent database session per Workstation Connection

Example 2:
1 Workstation that requires 10 database sessions = 10 Concurrent database sessions per Workstation Connection.

Example 3:
5 Workstations requiring 10 database sessions each = 10 Concurrent database sessions per Workstation.

Data Access Mechanism Unit Cost per Concurrent Connection per CPU (US Dollars)
ODBC 149
JDBC 149
ADO.NET 149
OLE DB 149
1 Year Support and Maintenance is charged at an additional 15% of the software value.

APPLICATION or WEB SERVER LICENSING

Application or Web Server licensing is based on concurrent database sessions per application / web server per CPU. In this license scenario our client components are installed on an Application/Web Server machine (or host) as opposed to a client/desktop/workstation machine.

This licensing model applies to application servers acting as ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, or OLE DB clients (e.g. Web/Application Servers, and any other applications that make pooled or single ODBC/JDBC/ADO.NET/OLE DB connections that directly or indirectly serve several users.)
