Eric, I was under the same impression you were. However, to be sure, I just called Adobe and they confirmed what James Holmes said about each VPS being considered a CPU. If you have two VPS's on one machine, each one of those VPS's is considered one CPU. That means that 2 VPS's will need 1 license of ColdFusion Standard. So if you have... say... 12 VPS's on one server, you will need 6 licenses of CF Standard to be properly licensed.
Insane.
