4 CPU's on app server, can I buy only 1 license?

On a the db server, you can configure the db engine to only use 1 CPU
and therefore only have to purchase 1 SQL Server license. But on my app
server that has 4 CPU's, can I configure RS 2000 to only take advantage
of 1 of those CPU's and therefore only have to purchase 1 license for
the app server? How do I configure this on the app server side?On Jan 17, 1:21 pm, "Dave" <macleary2...@.yahoo.com> wrote:

bumped. Anyone have an answer to this? Also, can this be done in RS
2005 and/or RS 2000? Or neither? Thanks.|||Hello,
If you have licensing per processor on application server you have to
purchase licenses
for all processors that are used by operating system on this server.
Microsoft says:
"Per-processor licensing. Required for extranet or Internet deployments.
Requires a single license for each CPU in the operating system instance
running Reporting Services. "
You can't set Reporting Services to use only one processor and purchase only
one per-processor license whereas operating systems uses all 4 processors.
In this situation Reporting Services might use only one CPU directly but
indirectly might use all 4 processors.
So that licenses for all processors are required.
