Licencing Question
Hi i have a question in regards to licencing VMprotect. We have 2 physical ESXI 4.1 hosts.each of those is a dual cpu socket machine. So on machine A i buy 2 licences for each socket. Is that all i need to buy and use machine A to backup machine B as well? or do i need to buy 2 additional licences for machine B as well? just the diagram seems to insinuate that vmprotect can backup across multiple hosts but im confused with licencing.

Hello Kieron and Colin.
Thank you for posting and thank you very much for your help Colin.
Kieron, I would recommend the following method to see exactly the numbers of licenses that you need to purchase.
Download a trial version and backup one machine from each host. Then you can navigated to Configure-Licenses and check the amount of Assigned Licenses.
If you counted your sockets correctly, you will need 4 licenses, but I would still recommend to download the trial version to check this together with the program's functionality in your environment.
Just in case, here is a list of all KB articles related to vmProtect.
Please let me know if you have additional questions.
Thank you.

I am a little confused as we have 3 x Dell R710's with 2 x 6 Core CPU's in each Host, so I assumed 6 Licenses, however under Configure->Licenses it has assigned 1 License to 2 of the Hosts and 2 Licenses to the 3rd, totaling 4 Licenses, I have attached a screenshot

My license count has now rectified itself and counts as 6 as expected, not sure what the delay was
