This section describes the licenses used by Replication Server and other enforcement mechanisms.
License Features Used – when Replication Server starts, it first checks out a license for the base Replication Server, which is REP_SERVER.
Number of licenses used – the number of licenses used for Replication Server depends on the license type under which Replication Server was licensed.
For Replication Server licensed under any of the Server license types such as SR, SV, and so on, one license is checked out per Replication Server. Starting additional Replication Server instances on the same machine does not check out additional licenses. For Replication Server licensed under any of the CPU license types such as CP, SF, and so on, the number of licenses used is the number of physical CPUs.
Some Windows and Linux machines use technologies such as “Hyper Threading” which presents one physical CPU as two logical CPUs. This is still considered one CPU for counting licenses.
