CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 133

A systems administrator recently upgraded the processors in a web application host. Upon the next login, the administrator sees a new alert regarding the license being out of compliance. Which of the following licensing models is the application MOST likely using?

Answer options

• A. Per device
• B. Per user
• C. Core-based
• D. Volume-based

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Core-based, because many applications require licensing based on the number of cores in the processor. The other options, such as Per device and Per user, do not typically trigger compliance alerts due to hardware upgrades like CPU changes.
