Through our corporate licensing group, I was given an vCenter/vSphere essentials license. As described, we can only have 3 hosts in our data center.
Something that has caught my eye on the licensing screen is the number of instances under each license. So far our ESXi hosts have only been dual core servers so it is understandable when it says that the CPU usage is 6. But what does it mean for the vCenter Server 6 Essentials license capacity? i.e. usage is 1 instance but capacity is 15...
We are looking to grow our datacenter and are just trying to get a better understanding of the aspects of VMWare licensing.
