Hi all,
I'm looking for some basic help. I've aquired a licence for vmware vsphere enterprise plus through an auction process. The problem is that I don't really know what I'm in posession of? I have a carboard enveleope with some sealed documents inside. I was hoping that someone could give me some insight into how it all works, e.g the licensing ect. The licence is for 1 processor. Does that mean that I can use one computer to control a server cluster??? I really don't know.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Dave.

Re: Newbie help
I'm by no means a VMware expert, nor do I have any idea what license you actually purchased. You might get a better response by posting your question in a VMware forum instead of an HPE forum, but I'll try to help.
I Googled "VMware licensing" and it took me here:
On that page it explains:
ESXi hosts are licensed with vSphere licenses. Each vSphere license has a certain capacity that you can use to license multiple physical CPUs on ESXi hosts. Starting with vSphere 7.0, one CPU license covers one CPU with up to 32 cores. If ╨░ CPU has more than 32 cores, you need additional CPU licenses.
It goes on with additional details on how licenses are applied and capacity consumed, but if you bought a 1-CPU license it sounds like you are covered up to one physical CPU with up to 32 cores.
Again, posting this same query in a dedicated VMware forum might get you more responses.
