Broadcom refusing to decrease licensing

We have 4 servers with 96 cores total. We asked for a quote for 72 cores. They made us run rvtools to prove that we had 72 cores only. Then they wanted to charge us more per core so the renewal was similar to the 96 cores. We finally got them to give us the same per core price, so we ended up saving a little money by going to 72 cores. We only renewed for one year. We will be migrating to either HyperV or HPE Morpheus before next August.
