license question

Hello friends,

We currently have 2 VM host servers.

Both servers are 2 CPU quad core

They are licensed as 8 VMware vSphere 6 Standard for 1 processor.

How does one go about adding more host?

I would like to add two more host servers, (both 2 CPU quad core)

Do I just purchase 8 more VMware vSphere 6 Standard for 1 processor licenses?

is there anything else we need to do? they would still be controlled under 1 vcenter.

Thank you in advance,

David

ESXi is licensed per physical socket/processor, so you will be able to use your 8 licenses to setup four 2CPU hosts, i.e. not additional purchase required.
