Question is the definition of VM:
1. if VM is powered off/suspended, still counted for license?
2. is vSE VM counted for license?
3. is VM in vApp Template counted? obviously it's shutdown.
Thanks,
William
General per-VM explanation:

My understanding is that for VCD it's basically VMs that are consuming computational resources (e.g. deployed & powered on) and that service VMs (such as vSE) are not counted, but you may want to confirm with your account manager to be sure.
