for some reason only half of the CPU cores (18 out of 36 cores) are being used during calculations. Half the cores (the other 18) are sitting idle there…
As far as I am aware the program is supposed to use all the CPU’s in the workstation.
*** Each RC license is limited to 32 CPU cores and 3 GPU cards. If you want to use higher configuration, you need to purchase more licenses equivalently.

hmm… as you can count in the image above only 18 cores (36 threads) (CPU Group1) are working.
So where are the remaining 14 cores (28 Threads) (32 CPU cores - 18 CPU cores) gone ???
I feel there is a bug/limitation with cpu affinity accessing both CPU Group0 (18 cores) and Group1 (18 cores).
The licensing is indeed a bit harsh with the cpu core limit. In my view its not practical at all.
In my case basically I would have to buy a new license to use additional 4 cores as it would go otherwise to waste.
In network situtation I understand to buy more licenses, but on a single workstation putting core restrictions is limiting the program quiet a bit, considering you can get e.g. 44 cores (88 threads) xeon setups quite easy these days.
I think the developers should only put restriction on SEPERATE additional machines helping to calculate and not within one machine…

is that limit on cli version too?
i can understand for promo version. but seems a bit harsh for full version.
