Hi All,

I have Searched Google and al that comes up from my searches is VM ware issue reagrding the issue i am having, where i am having the issue on a fisical device. My Device manager shows 8 CPU's and my Task Manager only shows one socket and one CPU. I am struggling to find out what is causing the problem. Assistance would be much appreciated.

Hi,

May be your server has one Physical Processor with 8 Threads or 8 Cores, so Device Manager shows 8.

Do check your server processor model.

Hi,

The Software you recommnded also is saying one socket and one cpu. The device manager says i have 8 Processing cores. Task manager says i have one socket and one processor. Do you think SQL can cuase the issue ? or SQL licensing ?
