Re: Interbase New Licensing?

That is not correct. Each additional processor requires a processor
license. A dual core processor requires a core license (less expensive
than a processor license) to use both cores.

Hello,

I went to purchase a new installation of Interbase for a customer online 
yesterday and it appears the licensing is now changed.  And I like it!  No 
more processor licenses.

Here is the question I have a few sites runnning IB2007 on a dual processor 
machine with only 1 processor license.  Is it possible to now have it use 
both?  What do I need to do to take advantage of this.

Thanks You for Your Time,
Todd 

Bill,

This is a quote form the codegear website and you can no longer buy 
processor licenses online.  Am I missing something?

It is news to me but that  is what it says.

You may recall that a few weeks ago I posted a message here indicated 
there are new SKUs available. These new SKUs include for up to 8 Cores 
(or 4 Dual Cores) with a Server license. The old SKUs are still 
available, but they are not worth your money to purchase. Given your 
description here, you have two possible solutions:

1. Purchase Additional CPU license: $1000
2. Purchase SMP Server with 1 User License : $200
(all prices USD, prices may be different in other countries)

Obviously, option 2 is the way to go. You'll have another server license 
to boot.
