A quick Google query readily reveals this;
In general servers are licensed according to the number of physical
servers and CPU sockets on which SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is
installed.
Using virtual images on a physical server or processor does not alter the
general licensing policy. Therefore there is no additional charge when
using virtual images with hardware partioning or on top of a host system
running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. If your host system is running
another operating system licensing is done according to the maximum
number of processors in your physical server used with SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server.
