A company is planning an upgrade from vSphere 4.x to vSphere 5. They currently have three dual
CPU servers licensed for ESXi 4.1 Advanced
Each server has 256GB of RAM installed.
Their virtual machines are sized three ways.
Light. 1v CPU, 4GB RAM
Medium. 2v CPU, 8GB RAM
Heavy. 4 vCPU, 12GB RAM
The Production workload consists of.
20 Light servers
20 Medium servers
2 Heavy servers
The Development workload consists of.
10 Light servers
10 Medium servers
How will vSphere 5 licensing impact their upgrade? (Choose two.)
A.
They will need to purchase additional ESXi licenses.
B.
They will be able to reduce their power consumption.
C.
They will be restricted from powering on additional virtual machines.
D.
A license upgrade will be needed to add vCPUs to the Heavy servers.

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but here is why I think B and C are the correct answers:
B is true because vSphere 5, if configured to do so, can dynamically move workloads from one of the hosts to the other two hosts so it can shutdown one of three when the workloads are low.
C is true because the licensing is restricting the memory to 32GB per CPU and the existing setup has 128GB/CPU (256GB per host with dual CPU)

Correction about the memory restriction: The licensing referred to here is for the Advanced version, which does not exist with vSphere 5.
