SharePoint Hosting – Licensing Based on Processors Used
To run Instances of the server software in Virtual OSEs on a Server, you need a license for each virtual processor* that each of those Virtual OSEs uses. If a Virtual OSE uses a fraction of a virtual processor, the fraction counts as a full virtual processor.
*A virtual processor is a processor in a virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware system. Virtual OSEs use virtual processors. Solely for licensing purposes, a virtual processor is considered to have the same number of threads and cores as each physical processor on the underlying physical hardware system. So, for any given Virtual OSEs on a server on which each physical processor provides X logical processors, the number of licenses required is the sum of A) and B) below:
one license for every X logical processors that Virtual OSE uses
one license if the number of logical processors it uses is not a whole number multiple of X. “X,” equals the number of cores, or where relevant, the number of threads in each physical processor.
