Licensing SQL Server 2019 on VMWARE Our company has SQL Server 2014 and 2016 and will acquire licenses for SQL Server 2019.
Our environment is in VMWARE, and as I understand it, one license is required for each V-Core that the server is using.

So if my server has 12 V-Core will I need 12 licenses?

I read this document from Microsoft and understood it this way, is that correct?

Thanks.
Unfortunately as mustaccio mentioned, we don't answer licensing questions, partly because it can be situational. Your best bet is to talk to Microsoft directly or work with a Microsoft licensed VAR. That being said, in general what you said is true if you're doing Core (not CAL) licensing, you would need a 12 core license (licenses are sold by 2-core increments).
