The licenses that are licensed by number of users (either named or
floating) always come in 3-processor mode, but the RVU licenses, as
implied above, come with a variable number of enabled processors, from 1
upward.  The latest version of zPDT enforces the "N+1" cores to enabled
processor restriction that has just been a recommendation in the past.
For most workloads, one processor (running  on at least two cores) will
provide very good performance for one or multiple users.  We have
systems with 15 - 20 typical developers who are very happy on a system
with a single enabled processor.

Mike makes a good point. I've been concentrating on the Single User RD&T license for Personal Use. The RVU licenses for RD&T are listed at 17K for annual and 37K for perpetual. Those are out of my price range and way overkill for me. I'll be more clear going forward.
