Upgrade License with vSphere 4

[noogie042]

We currently have all enterprise licenses with support. How will the new pricing structure affect us? Will our licenses be upgraded to Enterprise plus or regular enterprise?

I would think Enterprise license won't work with Enterprise Plus features, so you would have to buy them or upgrade it and regenerate the .lic or serial keys for that purpose. Surprisingly, Fault Tolerance feature included almost all versions which is a plus. But than 1 vCPU FT support that's something to think about, how often you have Exchange, Oracle and SQL VMs running 1 vCPU it works fine but some requires 2 vCPU for the load. So, this mean FT would be excluded with boxes require 2vCPU?

Oh great.... Redefne the boundaries of the word Enterprise... At least the features aren't show-stoppers for existing Enterprise customers.
