Server chips have the same license-based limitations. In fact, the limitations first appeared on those chips and in some generations only on those chips. The term "license" comes from Intel terminology, I didn't invent it. It has nothing to do with legal/software licensing, but rather the chip having permission (a "license") from the power management unit and voltage regulator to run certain types of instructions that might place a large amount of stress on the power delivery components.
