Easiest way to find out if an application is multi-core compatible?

[Mikoyan]

As title guys, what is the best method to know that an application can use more than one core (if the cpu is multi core capable) or if it only uses a single core?

Much appreciated

Check the product's website and/or contact said company?

Though I would expect any muti-core capable application will go ahead and use multiple cores, so why do you need to know?

Run it and monitor cpu activity?

What sort of software is it? If it something like encoding software I would simply let it go and watch the CPU usage. If it pegs both or more cores then providing what running in your process list makes sense then you can assume it is multicore.
