The documentation is awful, but virtual guest licensing actually changed in 
7.4.3. Simply drop the owning vmware, xen, hyper-v, virtual iron, etc. host 
into the "physical host" attribute and you free up a license.

Backing up the host, and the ability of the host to be the parent physical host 
for an unlimited number of free virtual clients, uses two license slots. But 
that's a lot better than 1+ (number of virtual guests) as was true pre-7.4.3.

7.5 mainly adds auto-population of the "physical host" attribute and a lot of 
management bells and whistles, but you don't need to wait for 7.5 to get the 
license change.
