ESX License issue

insufficient license:
Host-Based License: the license files are stored on individual ESSX server hosts
Server-Based License: licenses are stored on a license server, available to multiple hosts.
Host-Based License is enough, per-machine basis, placed on the individual ESX Server hosts

issues:
Go to Inventory -> localhost.localdomain ->Configuration -> License Features
License resource (Edit on the right)
Edit -> Use Host License File -> Upload local file
change VI_SingleHost.Lic to vmware.lic
Host License File: Installed
ESX Server License (Edit on the right)
Edit -> radio button ESX Server Standard (ESX Server Starter grey)
ESX Server Standard Licensed for 1 CPU
SAN Usage
Up to 4-way virtual SMP
NAS Usage
ONLY 1 CPU License, how can it be 2 CPU Licensed? Will it be any impact there?

Image Creation
Partition:
no swap (should study the impact on no swap, do you need to?)
IP range:
128.153.145.131~134
MAC:
00 0C 29 AA F1 07
Next step: populate the rest three images, ESX_2, 3, 4 and install apache and php in it
