Understand VMware vCenter AppSpeed Licensing
VMware vCenter AppSpeed
VMware vCenter AppSpeed is licensed on a per processor basis where a processor is defined as a populated socket in a server with up to 12 physical processor cores. AppSpeed requires an adequate number of vSphere Standard, Advanced, Enterprise or Enterprise Plus licenses and one instance of vCenter Server Standard.
VMware vCenter Server Standard
vCenter Server is licensed per instance and enables centralized management and deployment of core vSphere features such as VMware vMotion, VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler, and more.
VMware vSphere Standard, Advanced, Enterprise, and Enterprise Plus
VMware vSphere defines the features enabled for each physical host in the virtual infrastructure. The vSphere editions are licensed on a per processor basis where a processor is defined as a populated socket with one or more physical processor cores. The number of processor cores licensed by the software depends on the edition. VMware vSphere Standard and Enterprise define a processor as up to 6 cores while VMware vSphere Advanced and Enterprise Plus define a processor as up to 12 cores.

VMware vCenter AppSpeed to Transition to a Per VM Licensing Model
As the industry moves towards cloud computing, IT increasingly needs to manage at the virtual machine (VM) level rather than the physical hardware from which it is abstracted. With virtual machines now being the new unit of management, IT organizations need flexible deployment and licensing options that fit the demands of the new model.
Starting September 1, 2010, VMware vCenter AppSpeed will transition from the existing per processor licensing to per VM licensing. Learn more about how per VM licensing will work.
