We are planning to install 2005 standard Edition - single processor license
of SQL server 2005.
But the win2000 server has TWO processors
- one processor for sql2005, binds the sql2005 to CUP0 only.
- one processor for sybase asa 9.0 db, bind it to CUP1 only
The question is should we purchase ONE MORE processor license even sql2005
utilities ONE processor only?
Licensing questions are best answered directly by Microsoft. From the SQL
Server 2005 Licensing FAQ:
<Excerpt href="http://links.10026.com/?link=http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy/faq.mspx">
Q. Do I have to acquire licenses for all of the processors in a server?
A. You have to acquire licenses only for processors that are accessible to
any copy of the operating system upon which SQL Server 2005 is installed. In
a virtualized environment, processor licenses are required for every
processor that is accessed by a virtual machine. Please see the
virtualization licensing brief and virtualization white paper for more
information on how to license under a virtualized environment.

Hope this helps.
