So I'm trying to understand what the limitation is for physical RAM if I were to purchase the "VmWare vSphere Essentials Kit for 3 Hosts"?
We recently purchased a Dell T620 server with 96GB of RAM and 2 8-Core CPUs and I loaded ESXi 5.1 but when I tried to put the free license I got hit with a 32GB of physical RAM limitation, hence I now need a license. My understanding from the Essentials Kit is that in 5.1 the core limitation was lifted and I can now is based purely on number of processors which is 2 per host. However I'm having a hard time finding any information regarding the limitation on physical RAM on the host. I know that in vSphere 5.0 there was a limitation of 32GB/socket maxing out at 196GB across 3 hosts, does this limitation still exist? Or was it lifted/increased along with the number of cores supported?
