You can start a trial license (2 CPU equivalent) and upgrade later if needed.

Attention to this details do you think 1 LiteSpeed license is Enough for our server or we should Order More License ?

With ordering more Licenses our problem will be fix or not ?

This OverLoad is Due LiteSpeed or Another THing?


Thanks for your HELP

[mistwang]

There is a known kernel bottle neck trigger by LiteSpeed when CPU/core count is very high. We are working on a solution now.
In the mean time, you should turn off "AIO" under server->"tuning" tab from LSWS console see if it help or not.

Hello

Thank you for your reply

we are using 4.0.20 version that not support AIO . This is a Bug from Litespeed that should be fixed . do you think when you could fix this issue?

Thank you

[mistwang]

If AIO is not involved, it could be something else.

Please contact bug@litespeed... if you would like to have our staff to take a look at your server.

I had a question regarding this.

My CPU is a Intel Core i3-2100 Processor, it only has 2 cores but 4 threads.
If i purchase a 1 CPU license will Litespeed use 2 threads or as far as Litespeed is concerned i have 4 cores ?

please refer http://www.litespeedtech.com/support...ense_to_choose
"The number of your licensed CPU cores DOES NOT need to match with that of your physical server"
