Re: Which licenses do I need?
There is no "technical" background, but legal.
Hope this helps!

Re: Which licenses do I need?
It's simple - you should buy the licenses because not to do so would be illegal. That's the way the license scheme works - its common practice across the software industry - Oracle, IBM, Microsoft and many otherse license their software 'per CPU' or 'per core'.

Re: Which licenses do I need?
You can even ask this to any other vendor - if you use something that is not for free you have to pay for it - otherwise you run into a legal issue and get in contact with law, judge, lawyers ...
Hope this helps!

Re: Which licenses do I need?
It depends on whether the software, HP-UX, is bundled with the hardware and requires more licenses.
If you were buying the HP C/aC++ compiler bundle, it is licensed by the number of CPUs.

SolutionHP want to make money selling HP-UX, so they sell it in a certain way against a license model which they think will make them money.
When you buy HP-UX and use the software you effectively agree to that licensing model. Licenses based on number of CPU cores are pretty much the norm for enterprise software. Oracle, IBM and Microsoft all do the same thing - even Red Hat & SUSE want more monet off you if you have > 4 or 8 cores in your Linux box. Sun might not charge for their OS any more, but I'm willing to bet they charge more to support Solaris on a system with 16 CPUs comapared to a system with 2 CPUs.
Anyway whether you like it or not - that's the model and I doubt it will change significantly in the near future.
