| In 6.0, a large number of CPU's is granted for free.  I think.
| 
| In 5.6, one had to purchase an SMP license for the number of CPU's being
| used.
| 
| What is the deal in 5.7?  I was told that 5.7 is allocated up to 4 CPU's for
| its SMP use without any extra licensing. Is this correct?
| 
| If a license is needed for one extra CPU, total of two... What the hell
| could it cost?  I seem to remember a $90 charge for something.

The release numbers are still 5.0.6, 5.0.7, and 6.0.0. :-)

Be that as it may, find the answer in SCO's knowledge base:

which is entitled :

        How many SMP licenses do I need to purchase for
	Multi-Core-CPU based system?

An SMP license, if needed, is far from $90.  Try $1,199.
