There are 2 main factors you need to consider while calculating the number of core licenses required for a physical server. The simple and straight forward way to identify the number of processors in the server is by executing msinfo Hyper-threading is not relevant for physical server licensing. We will cover it a bit later. You can use the same technique as above by running the msinfo The next step is to use the following core factor table to calculate the actual number of core licenses you require for the processor type.

Lets see this with a concrete example. In the below pictures we have 2 physical servers, each containing 2 Hex Core processors, the first server is equipped with Intel Xeon processors and the second server is equipped with AMD Opteron processors. At the face of it, they both may look like identical configuration, but Microsoft deemed certain AMD processors to be less powerful than the Intel processors.
