Acronis VM protect licencing

Thread needs solution

hi for all,
i want to install vmprotect 7 for a customer. he should have only one production ESXi ( 1CPU ) Vsphere essentials and one backup ESXI ( 1 CPU ) also on Vsphere essentials.
the acronis vmprotect applicance will be installed on the backup ESXi.
how many licences are necessary ? the backup ESXi will be "on line" only in case of failure of the production one.

many thanks for your help.

and sorry for my english !

1 cpu = 1 lilcense

your can replicate to 1 esx without vmprotect and have the backups on the otherserver

thanks.
so, in my cas, i juste need 1 licence ??
could you confirm me.

in my experience as long as you do not try to backup vm's on the backup esx box then you only need 1 cpu license.
and the vm's that you try to backup or replicate are only backed up there then you are fine.
but a 2 cpu license would still be a good idea as you can then also backup on the backup server and replicate back to anotehr server.

I think that's the case, we just need to keep it offline for the back up. can someone please confirm this?
