Just became an administrator for a new SQL Server Production box. I have been asked to review same. Have just been browsing over the Licencing aspects and the licence is a SQL Standard 2005 Edition (1 x Processor Licence). However, there are actually 8 physical processors on the box.
It is a Standard SQL 2005 edition so this only supports up to 4 Physical processors.
Do i just set the affinity in SSMS to CPU0 only and deselect the other processors and then i should be ok on the licencing front?
