Explanation:
VMware Multi-Core Pricing & Licensing Policy

How does this policy affect my licensing costs on servers with less than 6 cores per processor?

When upgrading your hardware to multi-core technology, you do not need to pay additional licensing fees for a processor with up to 6-cores per processor. For example, if you purchase a two-socket server with each socket populated with a 6-core processor, you need to purchase only two processor licenses of VMware vSphere or related products for that server.

Under the original configuration an 8-CPU host requires (8 x 1) 8 CPU licenses. Under the new configuration four dual-CPU hosts requires (4 x 2) 8 CPU licenses.
