If you do not already have ISE deployed then the licenses sizes you order will depend on the deployment specifics, session count and the VM resources required. From there you have to break it down based on the scaling requirements.
For small deployments up to 7500 active sessions you could utilize the small 3515 vm templates and licenses.
For deployments greater than 7500 active sessions you would require medium 3595 vm templates licenses.
The number of VM's will also be determined by the requirements to surpass 20,000 active endpoints or if there is a requirement to have more than 5 PSN nodes. Beyond 20,000 endpoints you must run the admin and monitoring personas on dedicated nodes.
With ISE 2.4 the license requirements would be as follows;
So as Clark just mentioned, if you provide further deployment details, we could help you select the appropriate licensing. If you already have an ISE deployment and bought VM licensing in the past, then the BU will be able to migrate those.
The links in google no longer work with the board migration this past week. Here is the scaling guide if this will be a new ISE deployment.

Just noted 2 below points :
1) Licenses are counted against concurrent, active sessions.
2) Licenses are released for all features when the endpoint's session ends.
If you new to ISE, deploy your ISEv first and go with 90 days evaluation then look at Administrator -> System -> License to find out your usage. Specially in ISE the features you are using has immediate impact on your license usage.

Hi
thank you so much
I dont want to use SNS appliances and need the informations about VMware installation and their licenses.
I read the documents and found that the license for different VMware deployment size differs.
My network has 300 client, I dont know each licenses are suitable for how many of session.

Thank you so much for you help and answer, I found the my answer.
Can you tell me how can I calculate the number of session that about 300 client generate?
