Oracle Licensing and Intel Core Number limiting in BIOS

Good Day

We are investigating upgrading our Oracle Intel Database Servers to cpu's with more cores - capital investment as part of our roadmap.  For the time being, we will not have enough processor licenses.  The IBM server has the ability to the limit the number of cores in the BIOS.  The operating system then only sees the amount of cores you choose.  Is this way of core restrictions accepted by Oracle Licensing?

Your input and discussions around this would be appreciated.

Howdy, Stranger!
