The following image illustrates a topology where the VE license server binds to the ESXi host on which the VM with the license server runs. It shows one VM with license server and emulator software and another VM on the same ESXi host with the emulator software configured to use the license server via the network.

Please note: vMotion of a VM in which the VE license server runs will invalidate the installed licenses. Hence, if you plan to use vMotion on the VM in which an emulator runs, it is advised to keep it on a separate VM or provide a backup license server in case of inadvertently invalidating your licenseto a different ESXi server is only possible if binding to a vCenter server (see below) is used. vMotion of a license server VM when binding to the ESXi server will invalidate the installed licenses.
