Cheers John
One thing I am also trying to understand, is that they seem to be
pricing it PER ESX Host and PER CPU the Client has presented.

Doesnt make sense

Just a quick follow-on to what mitch808 said, in that the "Nbu Clt App
and DB Pk"
is also priced on a per physical server basis now as opposed to per
guest basis.
So with some reorganization of you're guests down to fewer physical
servers you could probably drop the licensing costs down a bit.
