License and performance information

Goodmorning everyone,

I wanted to clarify a question about the free and Essential license using a single virtual machine.
If I buy a server with 2 processors and 8 core install a single virtual machine inside I would like to see if there is a difference between free and Essential at performance level?
For the use of a single virtual machine to purchase the license? I always talk about performance.

Thank you in advance

Hi,

the VM on the free hypervisor can only be configured with 8 virtual CPUs, while the essentials license offers you the ability to configure 16 virtual CPUs to your VM. (up to 128 virtual CPUs per VM)

If more cores help your performance depends on the application that you are using on that VM.
