- PowerCenter 10.4.0 Administrator Guide, CPU Summary (documentation page not date-stamped; retrieved 2026-09-26): the License Management Report counts logical CPUs as N*C*T (processors x cores per processor x threads per core), but Informatica license compliance is based on the number of physical cores, not threads; to be compliant the number of physical cores must be less than or equal to the maximum number of licensed CPUs. Peak Usage is the maximum concurrent logical CPUs during the last 12 months. Original license keys record the number of authorized CPUs.
