But the ESXi version isn't exactly fair to someone who would deploy on the
hardware intended. Also, the restriction to 1 CPU isn't built-in - there's a
place where you select the number of CPUs you will use when you are registering
for the free license. I don't know what the actual maximum is, but it is at
least 2 with a fairly large number of cores.
