Enforcement of multicore processor licenses on Linux and Windows
Multicore hosts running Linux or Windows must be licensed by the
lsf_dualcore_x86 license feature. Each physical processor requires one standard
LSF license and num_cores-1
lsf_dualcore_x86 licenses. For example, a processor
with 4 cores requires 3
lsf_dualcore_x86 licenses.
Use
lshosts -l to see the number of multicore licenses enabled and needed. For
example:
lshosts -l hostB
