We have a SQL Server 2000 Cluster (Active-Passive). We are planning to add a
processor to each node in the cluster. We are using the Processor Licensing
model. Is there anything that needs to be done to apply the extra license on
each node, or do we just add the processor?

Are there any other steps that need to be taken? (setting processor
affinity, load balancing, etc)

Thanks,
MoJarrell

SQL Server will automatically pick up the new processor. All you need to
do is purchase an additional processor license (assuming that's the
model you are using) and add the new processor to each box.
