How do you define one system or one licensing unit?

Arca Noae considers one physical computer (workstation, server, tablet, or handheld) or active virtual machine a single system or licensing unit. Thus, you may create a dozen virtual machines, but if you only use one at a time, then like a book, only one copy is in use at any given time.

Physical machines are a little easier to define. We don’t care how many physical processors or how many processing cores are in the machine. A computer of any type, with a single systemboard, powered by a single connected power button, counts as a single system or licensing unit.

A single licensing unit may not be shared between a single physical workstation and any virtual machines, active or not. Thus, if you have one physical computer running an OS/2-based operating system and another computer serving as a host to even one virtual machine running an OS/2-based operating system, we consider you to have two systems.
