You need a full 16-Core-License plus additional Core packs if there are more cores available, and you need it for each physical host it can reside on with vMotion. If you can move the VM only manually between hosts, a (IIRC) 90 days window between changes needs to be kept to only require a "single" license.

There is a calculator there, put in the details of one of your hosts, you don't need to put in all of your hosts, you'll just end up over spending, I'm assuming they are all the same spec (Or should be) so one would be fine.

Simple really, even if it resides on virtual infrastructure it's still a single machine. As such, requires 1 licence.
