You have 8 Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard instances, each with 8 physical cores. 6 of these Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard machines are for production, and 2 of these Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard machines are eligible for free ESUs through the Visual Studio Dev Test subscription. You should first provision and activate a regular ESU License for Windows Server 2012/R2 that's Standard edition and has 48 physical cores. You should link this regular, production ESU license to your 6 production servers. Next, you should use this existing license, not add any more cores or provision a separate license, and link this license to your 2 non-production Windows Server 2012 R2 standard machines. You should tag the license and the 2 non-production Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard machines with Name: “ESU Usage” and Value: “WS2012 VISUAL STUDIO DEV TEST”.
