Following some feedback from the community, I'm happy to release version 0.5 of my vSphere License Calculator.

The main issue that has been fixed in this release is a flaw in the formula that calculates the vSphere 4 License count based on the CPU core count.

The problem was discovered when a user tried to calculate licenses based on 7 core CPUs. This had highlighted a major flaw in the original formula for calculating vSphere licenses. The formula for calculating vSphere 4 Licenses has therefore been rewritten from scratch.

Please download version 0.5 and let me know if you discover any further problems with the calculator.

The new version of tha calculator can be found here

Hi Rynardt,

Following recent changes made by VMware to vSphere 5.0 licensing policy, an updated version of your license calculator would be very much appreciated!

Thanks for all you efforts!

Thanks for this, it is very useful. Looking forward to a version that calculates based on the updated vRAM numbers VMware announced yesterday.

The calculator does not reflect the changes as of august 3rd. The values must be changed for the vRAM entitlements and it would be great to see how the monster VM's work out in the calculation where they are capped at 96 GB max.
Maybe calculate the results for VM's on a single host ranging from 96 GB to 512 GB?
