Greetings, could someone clarrify the licensing model for the free installable release of ESX 3.5i.

Does the free license cover the entire host or is it limited to a single cpu?


Regards
 
When you download it and request your license you enter the number of sockets in the hardware platform. From what I recall the options we're 1 or 2

Cheers for the response, ive checked the ESX 3.5i Up2 download page and the response im getting is

"On how many CPU's do you plan to install ESXi?" Quantity 1-999

One would assume that if i select a multiple that would be equivilant to the number of sockets i wish to license and not the number of cores?
