[VMware Cloud Foundation ](https://radiant.in/vmware-vcf-licensing-core-based-pricing-renewal-2026-guide-india/?utm_source=knowasiak)(VCF) provides an integrated private cloud platform combining compute, storage, networking, security, and management capabilities. Under the current VMware by Broadcom licensing model, VCF is offered as subscription software and licensed using a per-core metric. Broadcom documentation specifies a minimum subscription capacity of 16 physical cores per processor.

For businesses in India, calculating the required VCF licensing capacity is an important part of virtualization planning and renewal. The total requirement can depend on the physical processors and cores deployed across the licensed environment. Broadcom also provides a VCF licensing calculator to help customers simulate subscription requirements for different configurations.

Radiant helps organizations evaluate [VMware VCF licensing](https://radiant.in/vmware-vcf-licensing-core-based-pricing-renewal-2026-guide-india/) requirements, renewal planning, subscription configuration, and infrastructure needs. Businesses can review their existing VMware environment before renewal to understand core requirements and select an appropriate licensing structure. Professional licensing assessment can help align the subscription with the organization’s current virtualization environment and planned infrastructure growth.
