Thanks for your reply.

That differs from my understanding of the CPU licensing. From my understanding you "apply" the licenses to for example a 2 CPU ESXi server (2 cpu licenses). You can then send logs for that ESXi server and all of it's virtual machines to your Log insight enviroment. This applies to any hardware. The OSI (Operating system image) license gives you the right to log everything from a singel Operatingsystem, for example Windows on a physical server or a networkswitch. Probably easiest defined as one Agent/syslogsender.

When i spoke to VMware sales person and our TAM about the OSI licenses and our enviroment they didn't mention your interpretation but adviced me to buy the OSI licenses for our physical servers.

I'm not saying your wrong but thats what we did anyway.
