-When choosing between our legacy licenses, you do **NOT** need to buy a license with a title that matches the number of CPUs or cores on your physical server. The number of CPUs in the license title simply denotes the number of cores that the LSWS process will be allowed to utilize. LSWS is fast and lightweight enough to run very, very well on only a fraction of a server'​s available cores. In almost all cases, you are better off buying a license for only a fraction of your server'​s cores and leaving the other cores available for heavier processes like PHP and MySQL.+When choosing between our legacy licenses, you do **NOT** need to buy a license with a title that matches the number of CPUs or cores on your physical server.
