Ah, *licenses*. In my humble experience, manufacturers don't give a
toss about the number of processors you actually use. If your box has
64 processors, you will need 64 licenses, even if you are using it
only on one little u-LPAR that uses one tenth of a processor. So even
if you can guarantee that the app will only use two processors, that
doesn't help your license any.
