Should number of licenses be equal to number of CPU's?

| We have a server with 2 CPU's on board. We consider purchasing the enterprise
edition but were a bit shocked by its price, 25K per CPU. I was wondering if
we can start with a single CPU license. Coming from a Unix/Java Appserver
environment, I used to bind a application/proces to one CPU, even if there
are multiple CPU's in the server.
Is this technically possible on the MSFT OS? Is this allowed from a
licensing perspective?
Thanks in advance.

| Hi Slieric,
with enterprise edition you need to buy a single license for every CPU in
your machine.
Only with standard edition MCMS supports binding to a single CPU even if
more than one CPU is installed.
Cheers,
Stefan
