[lwsamcn01]

Hi, 

I am told VM issue new license policy for new product.

Could you help me to address what license should we buy?

Two HPE server as host.

The HPE parameter as below:

2CPU/10-core

With the new licensing model, licenses are subscription based, i.e. not perpetual anymore.

In your case, you'd need to license 16 cores per CPU , which is the minimum per CPU.
2 host x 2 CPUs => 4 x 16 cores => 64 cores

This already includes vCenter Server Standard, and production support.

Hint: A 3 years prepaid subscription is a lot less expensive, compared to 3 times the 1 year subscription.
