I am about to purchase a Sun E450 to run an Oracle 8 Server database. For this non-Enterprise Edition (workgroup) version of O8, is there a relationship between the number of processors in the server and the number of licenses I need? I get mixed signals from Oracle documentation. Some information indicates that platforms are priced "single processor" and other docs show "up to 4 CPUs (for the E450)".

I'm planning on dual SPARCs and I don't want any licensing surprises or hassles later. Anyone know the answer?

Thanks in advance
