basically if you use a server such as a Sunfire T2000, it only has 1 CPU but it has 8 cores. How does the licensing work? The old server was a pSeries/AIX with 4 CPU's. ANyone have info or link for this? thanks

All licensing questions should be addressed to your IBM account rep.

It doesn't matter what brand the server is. You have to consider the brand of the chip and the # of cores. It looks like you will need twice as many licenses on your new box when compared to your old.

But ultimately F.J.'s answer is the best one.
