LICENSE_MAX_SESSIONS
LICENSE_MAX_SESSIONS specifies the maximum number of concurrent user sessions allowed.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Parameter type | Integer |
| Default value | 0 |
| Modifiable | ALTER SYSTEM |
| Modifiable in a PDB | No |
| Range of values | 0 to number of session licenses |
| Basic | No |
| Oracle RAC | Multiple instances can have different values, but the total for all instances mounting a database should be less than or equal to the total number of sessions licensed for that database. |
Note: Oracle no longer offers licensing by the number of concurrent sessions. Therefore the LICENSE_MAX_SESSIONS and LICENSE_SESSIONS_WARNING initialization parameters have been deprecated.
When the limit specified by LICENSE_MAX_SESSIONS is reached, only users with the RESTRICTED SESSION privilege can connect to the database. Users who are not able to connect receive a warning message indicating that the system has reached maximum capacity.
A zero value indicates that concurrent usage (session) licensing is not enforced. If you set this parameter to a nonzero number, you might also want to set LICENSE_SESSIONS_WARNING (see “LICENSE_SESSIONS_WARNING”).
Do not enable both concurrent usage licensing and user licensing. Set either LICENSE_MAX_SESSIONS or LICENSE_MAX_USERS to zero.
