hi,
Please, someone tell me what is the maximum number of vcpu that can be assigned to a single virtual machine in VMware Vsphere 5.5 U1 Essential Kit?
Thank you very much
(sorry for my english)
Checkout below KB,
VMware KB: Licensing for vSphere 5.5
Also check maximum configurations for VM

Hi kedar,
What put me a bit of confusion is contained at the end of the second page of this document: http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/products/vsphere/VMware-vSphere-Essentials-Kits-DataSheet.pdf.
At the end of the first column: "VMware vSphere Virtual Symmetric Multiprocessing enables the use of ultrapowerful virtual machines that have up to four virtual CPUs"
Perhaps this document is out of date?
Many Thanks
Andrea.
As mentioned in the KB article provided by Kedar_D, all the limitation have been removed with vSphere 5.5.
The only restrictions that still apply are for the free Hypervisor (VMs with a maximum of 8 vCPUs and limited API access).

5.x essential kit always 8 vCPU limit. Please refer to below link.I can see that last update was in March 2014 which is quite recent..
VMware KB: Product offerings for vSphere 5.x
I am not sure about the white paper details. However according to KB article vCPU limit has been removed in 5.5 (Except Free version of ESXi which has limitation of 8 vCPU) This is still bound to maximum limit of 64 vCPUs.
If you have already applied the licensed then can you test it and confirm? 🙂
Next week I'll let you know!
Thanks again
Andrea
Andrea,
have you already implemented the solution? Does de vSphere Essentials Kit 5.5 licence have really no vCPU limit per VM, as seems from the KB article?
Thanks
