First link when feeding "Microsoft licensing processor" into Google. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew W. Ross [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 22, 2010 12:33 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Windows Server 2008 R2 Data Center Per-Proccessor Question Hello list. We're looking into buying a copy of Windows Server 2008 R2 Data Center (that's a mouthful) for a new beefy server we have... but I need clarification on the licensing... It says you need to buy a license "per processor". Well, that could mean several things. In my case, I have a Dual Socket system, each filled with a Quad Core Xeon, with Hyperthreading so there are two threads per core. So, do I need to buy 2, 8, or (*cringe*) 16 licenses? Anybody know where on Microsoft's licensing website it clearly states this missing detail? Thanks in advance. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
