VMware Changes and Business Implications of 2025

Long-term Subscriptions Now Cost More

  • 1.5 times higher for 3-year subscriptions.
  • 2 times higher for 5-year subscriptions.
  • Zero Grace Period – Late fees apply immediately upon subscription expiry
  • vSAN Expansion Costs – Storage scaling requires full re-licensing

Subscription Challenges

  • VMware brings back its vSphere Enterprise+ licensing. This follows a restructuring after Broadcom's acquisition, which had limited licensing options.
  • Essentials PlusRetired due to feature overlap with Standard Edition.
