IMHO it is not so complex. As work around may be used tool like StartAffinity (http://www.adsciengineering.com/StartAffinity/). But much better would be to incorporate this feature into the ESRI products, licensed by number of processors (CORES).
What Esri doesn't seem to understand is that there is zero reason to license by named user at all for Enterprise/Server. Just license by individual core. That is it. Scaling the platform to maintain performance and reliability will automatically increase licensing costs proportionally. Who cares if I have 10,000 named users if I only ever have 100 concurrent connections? That's what matters and what should drive cost - actual usage.
The Named User Licensing scheme coupled with the inability to license less than 4 cores cause 98% of licensing complexities and inefficiencies that lead to customer frustration.
