how many processors

[Coleman, Kelley (HAC)]

I would be very specific with your vendor.  We have some who count a
dual core CPU as 1 CPU for licensing purposes, but most have counted
them as two. Business Objects counts dual core as two, for example. Our
Help Desk application, though, counted them as one.
