OS/2 2.11 Symmetric Multiprocessing Edition (SMP). Variant of 2.11 that supports multiple processors. I have it on good authority (an IBM programmer) that this was used for servers, and on an IBM PS/2 9595 OPT, the only way to crash this OS was to pull the plug. Came in 3.5" floppy and CD. Licenses: There was a 1-2 CPU version and a 1-7 CPU version (Why seven, I'll never know. The IBM programmer assured me it ran fine with eight CPU's). I have seen the 1-7 CPU version on CD.
