Dear all,

Is it possible to say sql server 2005 to use this much number of CPU..?

For Example I have 1 CPU License of SQL 2005, but I have 2 sockets in my physical box. One socket is having 2 cores. So I want to say the SQL server (2005) to use the 2 cpu's only( i.e Any of one socket)

Please advise me to do this.

I have one more question,
Is there any CPU limitation for SQL 2005 and 2008? If Yes how much cpu we can allot for the SQL 2005 and 2008


Thanks
Lakshmi.S

Yes you can do this either via sp_configure or in the GUI by right clicking on the server and going to properties.
