I have a server with 4 dual core processors.
If I install SQL Server 2005 Express edition on it (which is free), I do not
have to disable other 3 processors because by default express edition will
use at most 1 processor?
But if I use SQL Server 2005 Workgroup (or Standard) edition with one
processor license, I would have to disable other 3 processors at the bios
level to be legal? If I don't disable it, will it use all 4 processors even
though I only bought license for one processor?
Help would be appreciated.
JJ,
I could be wrong, but I believe you cannot get around licensing by
restricting the number of processers. I believe if you buy a license for one
processor, then you cannot use it on any server with more than one physical
processor.

SQL Server will use the lesser of either the number of supported or
installed processors. Workgroup supports up to 2 CPUs and Standard up to 4.
However you will be violating the license agreement unless you have
processor licenses for each processor socket available to the OS. See

Hope this helps.

Processor Licensing question
I have a dual processor system. One processor is used for boot operations
and the other is used for Applications. If I were to install SQL Single
Processior License on this machine would that be within the Licensing
restrictions as there is the one processor for Applications or would I need
another license? Thanks.

_________________________________If I remember correctly, SQL will automatically limit itself when using
the per processor license. If not, you can set the CPU affinity to 1
to make sure it only uses 1.

With Per-Proc licensing you must license SQL Server on all processers
visible to the OS instance where SQL is running.
If you want to run a single proc of SQL on a multi-proc box that is used for
multiple different workloads, you can use Virtual Server 2003 R2, install a
new OS that can only see one processor, and install a single-proc license of
SQL Server on that OS instance.
From:
Virtualization and Multiple Instances
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy/multipleinstances.mspx
Each virtual operating environment running SQL Sever 2005 must have a
processor license for each processor that the virtual machine accesses. If a
copy of SQL Server is running on a physical operating environment, then
processor licenses are required for all of the processors on that physical
server.

and the other is used for Applications. If I were to install SQL Single
Processior License on this machine would that be within the Licensing
restrictions as there is the one processor for Applications or would I need
another license? Thanks.

_________________________________If I remember correctly, SQL will automatically limit itself when using
the per processor license. If not, you can set the CPU affinity to 1
to make sure it only uses 1.

With Per-Proc licensing you must license SQL Server on all processers
visible to the OS instance where SQL is running.
If you want to run a single proc of SQL on a multi-proc box that is used for
multiple different workloads, you can use Virtual Server 2003 R2, install a
new OS that can only see one processor, and install a single-proc license of
SQL Server on that OS instance.

processor and ram
hi guys,
i need some advice.
we have here:
win2003r2sp2-32bit 4gb ram dual quad-core xeon (8 cpu=B4shown and
managable)
2 instances sql2000sp4, both with default settings, both equally
used ...
what would now be the recomended settings to provide the best
solution.
how should ram and procs be splitted to maximize performance?
ram for system: 1gb
ram for sql#1: 1.5gb
ram for sql#2: 1,5gb
proc 0+1 : system
proc 2-4: sql#1
proc 5-7: sql#2
or what do you guys think?
thanx in advance
juergen ladrickI would definately let SQL and the OS manage processor resources. There is
also a good case to leave both instances's memory dynamic. Either way, we do
not have enough info to say how it should be split.

juergen ladrick|||You need to provide more information regarding your performance requirements
and the characteristics of teh workloads for each instance. No specific
recommendations can be made based soly on the info you have provided.
