Hyperthreading / Dual Core licensing? 1

[caimoss]

We're looking to purchase some new hardware for our CE 10 server. We currently run on a single CPU, no hyperthreading, single core; we have a CPU license.

So far I've only found this article regarding hyperthreading:

http://support.businessobjects.com/library/kbase/articles/c2015349.asp

--Has anyone tried a CE10 CPU license with hyperthreading?
--Anyone have any resources or info about support/licensing for dual core?

I think (it's been a while since I looked at 10) that it is based on the physical CPU not the logical. Therefore no problem.

Now whether HT makes any difference to performance what so ever, is another question ;-)

Hi,
While HT should not affect licenses based on a single processor , multiple core processors ( at least for XI ) will count as multiple processors:

3.3. Processor License. When the Software is licensed on a Processor basis, the aggregate number of central processing
units (“Processors”) running any Software components(s) (except the Web Connector, SDK, Report Publishing Wizard
and report viewers) may not exceed the number of Processors licensed. A multi-core chip Processor with N processor cores shall be counted as N Processors.

Not sure about CE10...
