 Dual/Quad core processor and Licenses

Hi all,
I heard that BO treat each core as a processor thus requiring a license (if we chose a processor license).
Can anyone clear this up for me or if BO are planning on changing their licensing at all.
Cheers |

My understanding is that it is a sliding-scale based on the CPU pricing...
1 x Single-Core Processor = 100% of CPU rate
1 x Dual-Core Processor = 150% of CPU rate
1 X Quad-Core Processor = 200% of CPU rate
You would need to confirm this with your BOBJ Account Rep.
Also, Dec. 31st if the end-of-fiscal for Business Objects - so between now and New Year's Eve all pricing is VERY negotiable. |

Cheers, but not sure what you mean by the % CPU rate.
One of our software vendors said it was one license per core.
Not that I'm doubting you but vendors are sales people even as much as you like the sales person you can always get more discount. |

My understanding is that if the CPU rate is $100K for one (1) single CPU, then it's $150K for one (1) Dual-CPU and $200K for one(1) Quad-CPU. |

Not quite, but close.
1 CPU = 100% of CPU license cost
1 Dual core CPU = %150 of CPU license cost
1 Quad core CPU = %250 of CPU license cost
each additional cpu core counts as 0.5 CPU |
|
groggle is correct. I just received a quote for a dual core processor
Cost for one core was $88,000 dual core $132,000 with a 22% annual maintance fee for 29,040. I need to go into another business. |

Anyone, know how BOE-XI (R2) licenses are priced if you are using server-virtualization (eg. MS Virtual Server 2005, VM-Ware Server) rather than physical servers...? |

MJRBIM, AFAIK, there is no difference. It will depend on the number of processors that are dedicated to the specific VM session. -Dell A computer only does what you actually told it to do - not what you thought you told it to do. |
