Vcenter 6.5 License Key -

A vCenter Server license key only covers the management server instance itself. It does not extend licensing to the ESXi hosts underneath it. Those hosts require their own individual vSphere processor licenses.

VMware structured its vCenter 6.5 management line into three main tiers to match differing organizational scales. Choosing the right license tier determines how many ESXi hosts you can control and what high-availability tools are open to you.
