CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 Practice Question
Your virtualization team is evaluating physical (host-based) versus virtual (per-VM) operating-system licensing for a cluster that uses live migration. Which statement accurately identifies a key difference between the two licensing models?
A virtual license is calculated by counting every physical CPU core in the cluster, giving unlimited VM rights but little cost benefit for small environments.
A physical license is assigned to each virtual machine, allowing it to remain valid regardless of which hypervisor the VM runs on.
A physical license is tied to the hardware chassis; when a VM is live-migrated, the destination host must have its own license because the license does not follow the workload.
A virtual license can be reassigned to a different host only once every 90 days, making it unsuitable for environments that use live migration.
