First there is no license for SLES or SLED there is only upgrade
protection/maintanence or subscription. That being said if you want to get
patches and upgrades you need to purchase the above for the physical
hardware. There is no additional protection/maintanence or subscription
need for XEN or VMware Virtual servers. So if you have 4 physical CPU's
then you need to get maintance for SLES up to 16CPUs.
Hope that helps
