Some VMware license keys can be split by applying them to multiple assets. For example, a four-CPU license can be split by applying it to 2 two-CPU hosts.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

VMware license keys, particularly those for vSphere, are often based on the number of CPUs or processor sockets in a server. A license designated for a certain number of CPUs can be split across multiple hosts as long as the total number of CPUs covered by the license does not exceed the license's limit. For example, a 4-CPU license can indeed be applied to two hosts, each with 2 CPUs, effectively splitting the license across the assets.
