is it possible to run process that use only 2 CPU from 16 CPU in my linux machine
we have red-hat machine version 6 and we have 16 CPU
but because license cost money and if we limit the script that will run only on 2 CPU then we can save the money

- 1Be careful. If you do use such limits, are you still violating your software's license? You might be. Depending on how the license is worded, you might still be violating your license to run the software on two CPUs if you run it on a 16-CPU machine, even if you limit it to only two CPUs. It might even be worded the other way: it may license you to run on two CPU sockets - in which case, you may have only two four-core sockets, with each of the 8 CPUs being hyperthreaded so they show up as 16 logical CPUs. If that's true, you can run on all 16. Read your license carefully.Andrew Henle– Andrew Henle2017-04-02 20:19:20 +00:00Commented Apr 2, 2017 at 20:19

- Please provide details on the hardware, software, OS version/distribution and anything else. Otherwise, people were will be guessing about the specifics of your situation. Per-core licensing is common, but if you provide details, people may be able to respond with their specific workarounds and solutions.ewwhite– ewwhite2017-04-02 21:00:47 +00:00Commented Apr 2, 2017 at 21:00
- disable the cores in bios might help for the license.Dennis Nolte– Dennis Nolte2017-04-03 10:15:46 +00:00Commented Apr 3, 2017 at 10:15
