No no!
It's an Enterprise Client based on a Tier level per physically populated
socket
Tier 1 =1CPU
Tier 2 = 2-3 CPU
Tier 3 = 4
etc. (Something like that at least...)
Again, populated sockets only! Core counts make no difference
You can also look into capacity licensing too. This way, you ignore all the
client agents and App DB packs and tiers, etc...
While capacity licensing is not cheap, the more you virtualize, the more you
move into multi-socket boxes, the choice makes sense. As an example a quad-CPU
box and a
