I know in the past there were several people running Notes servers in VM's and I am guessing that is the case still... For those of you that are, how is IBM charging your for licenses? We are being told that even though a LNotes VM has a single vCPU assigned to it we have to pay for every processor in the physical host.
This has to be wrong...
