Hi
Is it possible to only license some processors within a VMware cluster?

Hi, absolutely. The license only gets assigned to the host's sockets when you actually backup or replicate VM running on it for the first time. Thus, if you do not process VMs from some hosts, their sockets will not be accounted towards the used licenses. Thanks.

Re: Replication licensing
Hi
This was a question regarding a cluster of 7 x 4-way servers (28 processors) and then setting affinity so certain protected VMs could only reside on 3 of the ESX hosts, and only buying 12 licenses.
From what you are saying this is possible.
Thanks again.
