For server products that include processor licenses, how many of these licenses do I need if I have server hardware with a multicore processor or with multiple processors?
If your server hardware has only one processor with multiple cores, you need only one processor license. If your server hardware has more than one processor, you need a separate processor license for each processor used (recognized) by the server operating system. In a physical operating system environment, you need as many processor licenses as the hardware has processors. In a virtual operating system environment, you need the same number of licenses as the number of processors the virtual system recognizes.
