    Hi guys,

    I need some advice to confirm what I'm planning to do as I'm not 100% sure about it.

    server has 2x6 core cpus, so 12 cores in total.

    I need to set up 4 vms with 3cpus each, will this be fine with my set up under the free license agreement? Perhaps I will go for 3 vms with 4cpus each as well. Is this possible?

    Thanks!

    there is no limitation on the number of vCPU you can create. just create as much any how you like provided your host can power it. btw i think you can only assign either 1,2,4 cpu to the VM only.

    I know there is a limit of 4 vpus per VM, but I would like to confirm that this applies to an unlimited number of vms even under the free license
