I am curious about buying proxmox, and I noticed the cost is per CPU core. If I have a 16 core, do I need to buy 16 of the 1-core options?
 
Hello no, on the price page, it's not per CPU core but per CPU socket.

So if you have 16 cores but they are on a single CPU socket, there is no need to take an option.

If the 16 cores are spread over 2 sockets, you have to take an option in addition.

To check your number of CPU socket.
Code:
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "physical id" | sort | uniq | wc -l
