    <description>&lt;P&gt;vSAN is licensed per host, per CPU&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;and there are also different versions of vSAN.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So if you want to create a vSAN with 3 hosts with 2 CPUs per host, you need 6 vSAN licenses of vSAN ... or either&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Standard&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Advanced&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Enterprise&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Enterprise Plus&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>vSAN Licensing</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-vSAN-Discussions/vSAN-Licensing/m-p/2982725#M15492</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;We currently have a vCenter Server 8 Essentials and a vSphere 8 Essentials license. How does one upgrade to get vSAN capabilities. When trying to create a vSAN cluster, I am not able to apply either of the licenses to the cluster. It isn't clear to me what license packages cover what on the store.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Can someone help outline what would be best for a small company looking into vSAN? (We'll likely be setting up the 2 node vSAN configuration, but we currently only have one of those nodes).&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Please note vSphere Essentials Kit or vSphere Essentials Plus Kit licensing limits the number of hosts managed by vCenter Server for Essentials to three. Please refer this &lt;A href="https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/products/vsan/vmware-vsan-licensing-guide.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;vSAN White paper&lt;/A&gt; page 9 for different scenarios.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yes, I believe we're looking into setting up this configuration:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;Two physical hosts at a remote office are running a two-node vSAN configuration managed by the same vCenter Server.&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is this supported with the essentials kit? It doesn't seem like it is when trying to use the vSAN cluster. Is it possible that it's licensed incorrectly?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="ASysAdmin_0-1692288890080.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/103073i5ED96872F6A261E8/image-size/medium/is-moderation-mode/true?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="ASysAdmin_0-1692288890080.png" alt="ASysAdmin_0-1692288890080.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The licenses I listed earlier are not showing up.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Using&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;vSAN&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;in production environments requires a special license that you assign to each&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;vSAN&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;cluster.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;After you enable&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;vSAN&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;on a cluster, you must assign the cluster an appropriate&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;vSAN&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;license. Similar to vSphere licenses,&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;vSAN&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;licenses have per CPU capacity. When you assign a&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;vSAN&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;license to a cluster, the amount of license capacity used equals the total number of CPUs in the hosts participating in the cluster.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;So vSAN Standard is a license that we would buy? For a single cluster with one CPU, this is just for one license right?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;How come its not listed anywhere on the vmware store?&lt;/P&gt;</description>
