Ellison sees new software pricing model. SAN FRANCISCO -- The model of pricing enterprise software on a per-processor basis should be replaced with a flat annual fee that allows businesses to use as much software as they want, Oracle Corp.'s chairman and chief executive officer Larry Ellison said Tuesday. [InfoWorld: Top News]
"Where I think we'll go is towards enterprise licensing. ... You pay an annual recurring fee and use as much software as you want, and I think that's a much more sensible model to use."
Oh good - we do use the word enterprise, though the standard license could also be considered an enterprise license. Yep, its a sensible model and has been for years.
