CPU Detection Help
OpenLink's License Manager technology detects the number of physical processor cores ("CPUs") on which it and your OpenLink license are deployed. (Virtual processors such as AIX micropartitions, Solaris containers, and Intel HyperThreading are not generally relevant.) You need to provide the precise number of physical cores in the host machine to obtain a functional license for that machine.
All users can use OpenLink's latest Web-based GUI Assistants to detect CPU count on the host operating system. Users who cannot or do not want to use the Web-based GUIs can use operating system commands and utilities to obtain the same information.
Windows users can obtain their processor count by clicking on the General tab of the System utility. The System utility appears in the Windows Control Panel. Other users may execute one of the following commands to return processor count on Unix, Linux, and Mac machines.
| Platform | Command(s) |
|---|---|
| AIX | lparstat -i |
| FreeBSD | sysctl hw.model |
| HP/UX | ioscan -fnC processor |
| Linux | cat /proc/cpuinfo |
| Mac OS X | system_profiler SPHardwareDataType |
| SCO OpenServer 5 | hw |
| SCO Unixware 7 | psrinfo -v |
| Solaris SPARC | kstat > /tmp/kstat.output |
| Solaris x86 | uname -X |
| Tru64 | psrinfo -v |
