I'm curious if anyone has explored the license implications of this. By way of
concrete example, suppose Wingra Inc. wants to squeeze 3000$ out of me, plus an
extra 450$/yr. maintenance, because I add another CPU to a 6400 box. In a way
it seems reasonable that if I bind the software to one CPU, that I am still in
keeping with my original single CPU license. Has anybody explored this, reading
the license agreements and/or talking with vendors? Software license costs
with several vendors operating on this archaic 'tiered' approach are dwarfing
the actual hardware costs of this tentative upgrade.
