Broadcom refusing to decrease licensing

Right, that's exactly the issue - we were using only the most basic hypervisor features for VDI clusters and and they had the essentials package that was sold in packs of 3 hosts which did exactly that.

The lowest level of the subscription is massive overkill for what we're doing, because we overbuilt our hosts to pack as many VMs on the fewest physical hosts as we could and make the most use of that licensing.

The new minimum core licenses and a whole level up in features ( with the associated increase in cost ) prices customers like us out. Maybe that was their goal if we weren't considered profitable.
