vSphere 7 Standard License query

Hi All,


Have 2 servers and each server has 4 processors/sockets. Plan to buy vSphere 7 standard license.
Should i buy VMware vSphere 7 Standard for 1 processor with qty 8 because of my total 8 processors (each server 4 CPU)?
Look for your help.

Yes, it's the socket count which matters. However, starting with vSphere 7.0 a there's also a core maximum of 32 cores per socket that needs to be taken into account.

If you also need a vCenter Server license, you may want to look at the available "Acceleration Kit" options, which are basically starter kits at a reduced price.
