How does Windows Server 2000 or 2003 license on a XEON processor?

Do you have to buy advanced server on a system with 4 processors, since it
show up as 8 processors in the Task Manager?
 
If you want Windows to see all the processors and use them, then you will
need advanced.

If you have 4 physical CPU's you only need licenses for 4 CPU's - even
with HT Enabled you only have 4 physical CPU's. It's licenses based on
how many PHYSICAL CPU's you have.

This is according to the Great Lakes MS Regional Office.
