VMware ESXi 5.1 CPU Cores

I have 2 Servers running vSphere licensed with the essentials kit. I was told this would allow me to run them both with 2 processors with 12 cores each. However when i try to start the virtual machine it says on 8 cores are allowed. How to I fix this?

It appears the cores per host are unlimited, but according to this thread the vcpu for essentials is still limited to max 8 vCPU

vCenter Server Essentials 5.0 vs 5.1 vCPU Limits
