Vsphere 4 processor licensing question.

We have a scenario where we would like to use only 3 processors out of 4 on physical server since we don't want to waste ESX licenses. Is it possible to license only 3 out of 4 physical processors on vsphere?

Appreciate your suggestions/ comments.

Thanks,

Hi akash1980

I hope you can do that.

But I will suggest take conformation from either vendor from where you purchased or

vmware customer care.

You would have to physically remove the processors, unless there is a way to disable your processor in the BIOS.
