Licensing question

Consider this scenario:

You have a single cpu host that is assigned one cpu license. Then you add a second cpu but don't have anymore licenses.

What will happen?

Will the additional cpu run a trial license, be ignored or will the host be unlicensed or....

it would be unlicensed. unless if you're running the ESXi edition (which is free) you could request for the additional.

Just got the same answer from VMware. The host will be unlicensed.
