Well, for that matter, why not just have the client send the processor info back to the server? It sends back the OS level. Seems to me the software should collect the information if that's what it needs...

One way I thought of to bring the two licensing schemes would be to have each node registered with a number of processors entered with it as an option. That accomplishes that function, now we could kill two birds with one stone by adding a "TDP License" option with a flags of DB2, SAP, Oracle, Sybase, etc so that both the TDP and the node license are associated with the same nodename. And while were at it, let's make it easier to store both filesystem and TDP data under the same nodename instead of creating a second virtual node. -- Joshua S.
