Vmware Essential Plus & DR

HI,

I have Two Data center sites,one in production and another one in DR.I am planning to purchase 3Host Vmware essential plus license along with 2 Vcenter sever.

I am planning to do a vsphere replication between my Head office site and DR site.In my head office i have 2 severs with 2 socket each and in DR site i have one server with 2 sockets.

Do i need to purchase additional essential license or can i use a single essential license on both sites.Please advise.

Essentials Plus comes with 6 sockets, and however you distribute those sockets is up to you so long as you don't oversubscribe on that license. In other words, you cannot assign more sockets than that to which you are entitled across all sites.
