Choosing the Right VMware vSphere Licenses

In this video, I'll walk you through choosing the right vSphere licenses for your environment. vSphere has a multitude of licensing options such as Essentials Kits, Acceleration Kits, ROBO, vSphere for Desktop, and multiple editions.

I hope this quick video helps you decide which vSphere option is best for you.

Hi, i have a query, if i purchase license for VMware vSphere 8 Enterprise Plus for 1 CPU, (max 32 cores/CPU socket), 3YR VMware SNS, does it covers vCenter license ?

What the different between fault tolerance of 2vCPU for vSphere standard with 8vCPU for vSphere enterprise plus ?

For Vsphere desktop licensing, what prevents you from running server os VM’s on it? Does it limit you somehow?

Hi, we are currently on Vmware 6.00(3 hosts with 16 CPU's each) and we're looking to upgrade to Vmware 8.00, do yo think this is a good idea?

Hi, I recently heard that VMware was moving from the perpetual license, like you own the version that you bought to an annual subscription model, do you know if this is true and have they already done this for existing customers?
