Named User Plus is defined as an individual authorized by you to use the programs which are installed on a single server or multiple servers, regardless of whether the individual is actively using the programs at any given time. A non human operated device will be counted as a named user plus in addition to all individuals authorized to use the programs, if such devices can access the programs.
If multiplexing hardware or software (e.g., a TP monitor or a web server product) is used, this number must be measured at the multiplexing front end. Automated batching of data from computer to computer is permitted. You are responsible for ensuring that the named user plus per processor minimums are maintained for the programs contained in the user minimum table in the licensing rules section; the minimums table provides for the minimum number of named users plus required and all actual users must be licensed.
Actually the above definition is somewhat very confusing and DBAs have confusion of what is exactly mean by it.
Simply saying "Number of Users" mentioned in a Oracle License is actually the number of users who interact with the database.It may be end users who are using a system which has Oracle DB as the back end.It doesn't matter whether that users is current connected from a session.It counts all the users who have access to the DB through the system.
