In a virtualized environment, processor licenses are required for every processor that is accessed by a virtual machine. Please see the virtualization licensing brief and virtualization white paper for more information on how to license under a virtualized environment.
Licensing —Microsoft, Contact As far as i'm aware you can't configure SQL to only use one processor and you have to buy licenses for the number of processors the operating system can see:. And I think that the sentence that preceded the one you quoted fairly well summed and presented the case. The content you requested has been removed. As I understood it and thanks Microsoft for being so vague in the descriptions in the SQL Server Licensing page, it states " if you have made a processor inaccessible to all operating system copies on which the SQL Server software is set up to run, you do not need a software license for that processor.
Additional info can also be found here which leads me to think I am right. Elliott Whitlow. That is generally true. They are licensing more on CPU sockets than cores.. But I do believe and I hope the gent finds it that says you have to license ALL the processors on the box, even if you are doing processor affinity and limiting it to the licensed number..
A processor license gives you the right to install any number of copies of SQL Server on a single computer, as long as you have purchased processor licenses for all of the processors on that computer. If you have made a processor inaccessible to all operating system copies on which the SQL Server software is set up to run, you do not need a software license for that processor. In a virtualized environment, processor licenses are required for every processor that is accessed by a virtual machine.
Please see the virtualization licensing brief and virtualization white paper for further detail. In addition to the installation rights to the actual server software, processor licenses also grant any number of devices or users the right to access and use the server software running on those processors. These access rights are available to all devices or users, regardless of whether they are inside the organization intranet scenarios or outside the organization intranet or extranet scenarios.
The processor license contains all that you need.
