We're at the beginning stages of looking into an upgrade from Windchill 8.0 to Windchill 10.0.
Our VAR sent a Statement of Work for performing this upgrade and one of the line items details that we need to provide Oracle licenses. We've never purchased this in the past. After speaking with out PTC Account Exec, he confirmed that PTC no longer includes Oracle with Windchill. Now I have the task of figuring out how many Oracle Standard Edition One licenses to purchase. I've put in a ticket with PTC to get their help, but I may as well ask the user forums at the same time.
Do we purchase one Oracle license to correspond to each Windchill license? Or do we purchase one Oracle license to correspond to each unique user name used in Windchill?
Thanks.
Oracle is still included from PTC if
Cost is $180/user or $5,800 per server. Per-server is less costly at 33+ users.
Oracle One is limited to servers with no more than 2 physical CPU's. (not cores)
Functionality is identical to Standard.

First, thanks to everyone that responded, both here and via private email. We're using and upgrading Windchill PDMLink.
Second, now my head hurts.
Answer #1 was that I need to purchase one named user license (of 11g Enterprise.)
Answer #2 talked about Oracle wanting end users to purchase a license for every named user, but also mentioned that we don't need to have an Oracle license for a PTC license that is not being used.
Answer #3 was Ben's (number of licenses for the number of cores on the server (application tier? database tier?) and is totally independent of the nubmer of Windchill users.)
Answer #4 was mostly pricing, with a per-server license option that was independent of user accounts in PDMLink.
