Right. Remember to install the SMP software along with the license
immediately after installing the base OS, before any other patches.
And you have to install Maintenance Pack 1 (mp1, always free) before
installing Update Pack 2 (up2, for which you have the update license)
which will give you the HT support. Update Pack 1 is superceded by up2.

If for some reason you're using large (>137GB) IDE hard disks, be sure
to read the up2 release notes about installing the new wd driver.
