Restricting Oracle to one processor in a two-processor box?

Hi all,

I have to set up a startup company's IT infrastructure. I want to use Oracle, however the licences are expensive.

I am planning on having two servers each with dual processors (= 4 processors in total), however I don't wish to pay for 4 licences. I am prepared to pay for a licence on both boxes so that I have redundancy.

I am being told by my Oracle rep that if I have 4 processors I will have to pay for 4 licences. I want to be honest here, so what I am asking is this:

Can I order Oracle in such way that the software is restricted to only one processor on either of the boxes - I did search the Oracle site but can't seem to find the info I want. I would be grateful for any pointers.

They can restrict XE to one processor, so why not their other db products?

Thanks in advance for any info.

Paul...
