The short (and unfortunate) answer is that you have to license Oracle for each
processor in your VM server. You don't have the ability to declare, for
example, that that you're only going to use 4 of the 8 cores in your Vmware
server for database VMs, and only pay for Oracle RDBMS licenses on those 4
cores. Oddly enough, you *can* do this if you're running Oracle VM...hmm...:-)
