Interesting - do you have a reference for that?

While not directly an answer for your licensing question - I have seen that
the Compaq servers can use the second proc in a failover capacity for
reliability. That said, only one processor is ever functioning at one time.

Hi list,

So, we got a few servers recently for some SQL stuff, and the guys who
handle the hardware side of things say that these servers all have two
processors but they're "bridged" or something to appear as one.  In the
task manager, only one processor shows up.  I've never heard of
"bridging" processors or anything like that.  Is this guy just making
stuff up, or is this something that can be done?  The servers are Compaq
Proliant DL380s, which I see can be purchased with two processors.
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliantdl380/description-g3.
html  What I'm getting at though, which I didn't really intend to ask
here, is that if these servers are twin processor servers with them
"bridged" or whatever, how many per-processor SQL licenses would we
need?  One or two?

Thanks a lot,

Ray at work
