Interesting.  Thanks.  Seems licensing has changed yet again?   Used to 
be that you had to acquire the license when you acquired the hardware, 
and from a vendor that was an HP reseller; you simply couldn't get a 
license a la carte.  The only other option available was the HP license 
transfer mechanism, which had a one-time fee to move over all the 
licenses that the system you've just purchased was originally acquired 
with.

Though it's referenced in the text you've posted, that Itanium license 
is a per-core license.  You'll need four of those licenses for an 
rx2660-class box with two dual-core processors, if you want to use all 
four cores.
