CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 Practice Question
An organization operates a virtualization host that contains two processor sockets, each currently populated with a 12-core CPU. The systems team plans to swap both processors for newer 32-core models but will not add any additional sockets or virtual machines. To ensure the operating-system licensing costs remain unchanged after the upgrade, which licensing metric should the team confirm is specified in the vendor contract?
Per-socket licensing that requires one license for each occupied CPU socket
Per-core licensing that requires a separate license for every physical CPU core
Per-concurrent-user licensing that counts the maximum number of active sessions
Per-virtual-machine (per-instance) licensing that charges for each running guest OS
