This is the thought process I was going through on it, but wanted to make sure.
Thanks!

The Product Use Rights document makes this very clear, at least in the
version I have in front of me here.
"Per processor license: For software running in physical operating
system environments you must license each physical processor. For
software running in virtual operating environments, you need to license
on the virtual processors the software uses"
So if you have a server with 2 dual core physical CPUs, then to run ISA
directly on tha hardware, you'd need 2x CPU licenses.
If you virtualised it, then you end up with a possible 4 virtual CPUs.
If you assign all 4 virtual CPUs to the virtual machine, then you need
to buy 4x CPU licenses! However if you only assign 2 of the 4 virtual
CPUs (and have the other CPUs doing other workloads) then you would only
need 2x CPU license. If you only assigned one virtual CPU then you only
need to buy 1x CPU license, even though the physical machine has 2
physical CPUs.
(This is on p12 of the April 2009 version of the PUR. This may of
course have been changed since but I don't have that handy right now)

Thanks... How about processor count? If you run it as a VM, does it
count as only one processor or however many you give it?

ISA licensing has not changed.
It's still per-socket.
Std Ed is limited to 4 sockets and 4GB RAM, while Ent Ed has no CPU or
RAM limits.

Apparently our SA ran out on our ISA server, so now we have to
re-purchase the software. Can someone point me to a link that
summarizes the different licensing options? I am assuming it is still
per-processor, but I want to make sure.
