live Storage vMotion licensing

Does VMware vSphere 6.7 or 7.0 Standard include the license for live Storage vMotion or is a Enterprise or Enterprise Plus license required?

Hey, hope you  are doing fine.

standard vSphere licenses include vMotion and Storage vMotion, but they don't include DRS (which will automate the migration)
Enterprise plus includes DRS


Please keep in mind that vMotion is a live migration.

Hope this was useful

Yes, vSphere ESXi Standard contains svMotion.

Take a look to https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/vsphere/vmw-flyr-comparevsphereedi...  and read page 2.
