How much ESX can I install with VI 3 Standard License

[DiSpinoza]

My question is how much ESX can I install with one Vmware Infrastructure 3 Standard License?

Thank you

You can install all parts of ESX however you cannot use Distributed Resource Scheduling or Distributed Power Management and a couple of other pieces.

For a full guide to what you can/cannot use check out the link below:

ESX server licensing is based upon physical processors. So if your ESX box for example has 2 physical processors - your ESX license must be for 2 CPU's

Here is some info on licensing differences also....

that depends, if you have two CPU license you can install 2 x single cpu hosts or 1 dual cpu host.
