Changes to vmware licenses are made official

VMware has announced changes to the way it will license its products. A decision that translates into a price increase for many client customers, as has been known. Since it has been established that CPUs that have more than 32 cores will be considered as two processors, which can double the costs in some cases.

VMware license changes made official

As the firm has said, the change becomes official from April 2 of this year. A decision that has generated many negative comments on social networks.

Controversial change

VMWare has wanted to defend itself from the comments, stating that most of its competitors license their products using the number of cores as a base. Therefore, they make this approach more appropriate, in addition to allowing comparisons of the company's licenses and prices with other brands. In addition to helping them keep their prices in line with the market, they say in a statement.

This announcement is also seen as a sample of the problems that the firm experiences when positioning itself in the CPU market. So this price increase is an attempt to earn additional income in the face of its bad situation.

On the other hand, this price hike could cost VMWare customers. Since there are cases in which said rise is double, which generates a lot of criticism and many may not believe that it is worth paying that much money. It will be interesting to see if they maintain this decision and if there are clients who decide to go to the competition or not.
