Brian, All the licensing of software for Cisco products is per server/device unless specifically stated otherwise. Usually those special situations involve explicit backup/failover, and the second unit can't stand alone. The PIX and CiscoSecure ACS for UNIX are two products where this is the case. Of course, these two products include license enforcement.
In the case of a switch or router, you can do more than pure redundancy with two devices, so you have to purchase a software license for each of them.
