  Hi there,

  For licensing please see the quick reference guide from Microsoft on the link below:

  to add to PWMather's reply here how i understand it.

  per processor licensing is bound per physical processor, so if you have 1 6 core processor you can assign 1-6 cores to the virtual machine.

  however you cannot have 2 physical processor in the virtual host, that will require you to get 2 processor licenses, no matter how many cores you actually use.
