Mike: Does the machine BIOS allow you to control it? That's the first thing that comes to mind. But also, is this a terms of agreement license issue, or something in the software detecting how many are available and yakking when it detects more than it's licensed to operate with? If the former, and you're concerned about an audit, even having them disabled may violate the legal terms.

Rather than taking the CPUs out of the box physically, is there a way to lower the CPU count - maybe in /etc/sysctl.conf?
