With vSphere 5.1 being announced, the vRAM entitlement limit has been removed. vRAM entitlement will be unlimited across all editions. Check out the editions comparison at http://www.vmware.com/products/datacenter-virtualization/vsphere/compare-editions.html.
This new licensing model is also applicable to vSphere 5 as stated in the FAQ of VMware vSphere 5.1 Licensing, Pricing and Packaging Whitepaper.
Q: Does the new VMware vSphere 5 licensing model – per-CPU without limitation on the number of VMs, cores or amount of physical RAM – apply to both vSphere 5.0 and vSphere 5.1?
A: Yes. The VMware vSphere 5 licensing model applies to both vSphere 5.0 and 5.1 customers.
This is indeed a good news for VMware customers.
