number of CPU's for license generation?

I am building a prototype TeamSite 6.7.1 server on Solaris 10 using t2000 hardware. A t2000 has 8 cores with 4 threads per core creating 32 virtual CPU's. TeamSite sees this as "32" CPU's when generating the license parameters.

====================
DOMAIN=NoDomain
HOSTNAME=star-auth-proto
PRODUCT=TS
CPUS=32
====================

The license generation box only goes up to 16 CPU's. Does this determine anything when the server is running? Or, is this just to track the type of hardware customers are running?

Also, anyone know how to "rebbot" solaris Smiley Happy

From the license confirmation....

After you have added the file to the /etc directory,
rebbot your system, and your TeamSite server will run.

The CPU count message issued by the licensing code is advisory. The TeamSite server will function normally.

Thanks Paul. Now the real question...

interesting :-)

We recently re-requested a license because our box was seen as 8 cpu (4 cpu with hyperthreading). If I'm not mistaken... I was only half involved. Didn't know the warning is only advisory.

Did anyone try running TS on Deep Blue or one of them other multi-cpu boxes Smiley Wink

CPU is a core, not a package. Hyperthreading is just additional registers.
