Counting processor cores

Price depends on number of processor cores

The price of the license depends on the number of processor cores on which you want to run the software. All processor cores within a node are counted, so a dual-core dual-CPU machine counts as four. Two single-CPU single-core machines and one single-CPU dual-core machine together also counts as four. Both situations require an A4 license.

ADF and ADF-BAND are two different products. For each of them you select the number of processor cores to use. Thus, they may run on different machines, or using a different number of processor cores.

For our standard host-locked licenses all processor cores in a machine are counted. It is not possible to order a single-core license for a dual-core or dual-CPU machine.

For floating or mixed floating/host-locked licenses each "floating processor core" counts as equivalent to two host-locked processor cores. The price of an "A4F" (floating) license is the same as that of an "A8" (host-locked) license.
