We have used this SE and SE ONE licensing feature recently to make the price more attractive to our customers. If somebody is yet doubtful I think the best proof is that noone hunts down our customers :) as well as publicly available tpc results.

For example for SE
http://www.tpc.org/tpcc/results/tpcc_result_detail.asp?id=109012001

Total # of Processors:	 4
Total # of Cores:	24

and SE ONE
http://www.tpc.org/tpcc/results/tpcc_result_detail.asp?id=109033001

Total # of Processors:	 2
Total # of Cores:	8
