That is clearly forbidden under SQL 2000 licensing, unless of course
you have 16 or more processors on your server. LOL
Question: Do I need a Processor License for every processor on a
server, even if some of those processors aren't running the server
software?
Answer: Yes, Microsoft's End User Licensing Agreement clearly states
that a separate Processor License must be obtained for each processor
on the server, as we anticipate that all processors on a given server
will be used to run the server software in the vast majority of
scenarios. However, with today's larger, multi-processor servers,
there exists the capability of partitioning groups of processors
within a single machine, and running the server software on only a
subset of the total processors. In order to accommodate such rare but
realistic scenarios, an exception to the general rule will be made
for servers with 16 or more processors. For those servers, Processor
Licenses will be required only for those processors actually running
the server software.
