Tldr: VMware charged before per cpu. Now a cpu license only includes 32 cores so you may have to buy multiple licenses. This will get really expensive very fast

Tldr: VMware charged before per cpu. Now a cpu license only includes 32 cores so you may have to buy multiple licenses. This will get really expensive very fast with AMDs permanent increasing core counts.
- deftnerd 7y agoMakes me wonder if there is any roll-over with the additional cores. If you have a dual processor machine, with 34 cores in each processor, you would have to get 4 licenses, 2 of which only cover a combined 4 cores. It seems less than ideal.
- sponaugle 7y agoAs it is written now, yes you would need 2 CPU licenses. I suspect over time this will be refined to something more core count based. I think most people in the VMWare universe have been expecting a change like this.
