How License type "Per Socket Pair" is consumed/ calculated SummaryHow License consumption works for License type "Per Socket Pair"Instructions License type: Per Socket Pair, which is equal to 2 installs per 1 license.If it is a physical server say "is virtual" is false, then the calculation will be as below For example, if CPU count = 2, it will consume 1 License.If the CPU count = 1, then also it will consume 1 License only, max it takes 2 CPU counts for 1 license consumption.If the CPU count = 5, then it will consume 3 Linceses ( 2, 2, 1 CPU counts's = 3 Licenses) If the server has "is virtual" as true, then it is a virtual server, so we will check for a server that has virtualized relationship with this virtual server, for example, say ESX server. Then we will consider the CPU count of the ESX server for license consumption.
