    I think the license is labeled like that because originally the 2400 only had 2100 blades which meant only 16 vCMP guest could be allocated. I'm pretty sure the vCMP license should cover your whole chassis and should allow as many guests as is physically allowed by the new blades. I will try to confirm this, but with the 2250 with vCMP license you should be able to exceed 16 vCMP guests.

Just confirmed, the vCMP license you have will allow you to provision the MAX allowed by your blades in the chassis. In your case 20/blade. The 16 number is as I suspected an artifact of the old part number and blades for the 2400.
