Hi,
For a setup below, do you think what should be the plan of purchasing license ? This is our initial stage of configuring  VM's.
The licsensing part is the one that make me headache, this is indeed my first time dealing with purchasing license, of course I dont know much how to deal with this and what are the limitation if I wrongly buy the license.
