Hi all,

Thanks in advance for any assistance here. With Broadcom setting a 72 core minimum on vSphere licensing, I have a few questions on how this works in a few scenarios. 

1) Customer purchases the minimum quantity (72) VCF-VSP-STD-8 licenses. They use (48) of them on 2 hosts. This will leave (24) unused. Can these be applied to another host at a later time?

2) Customer purchases quantity (96) VCF-VSP-STD-8 licenses. Can these licenses be used on multiple hosts at any location the customer may have? Say they have 4 hosts, all in different cities. They may or may not have a vCenter in the middle connecting them. There is a chance each would be standalone.   

Thanks again

Nathan
