CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 276

A company is comparing an application environment to be hosted on site versus a SaaS model of the same application. Which of the following SaaS-based licensing models should the administrator consider?

Answer options

• A. Per core
• B. Per socket
• C. Per instance
• D. Per user

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, 'Per user', because SaaS models typically charge based on the number of users accessing the software, making it scalable for varying user counts. The other options, such as 'Per core', 'Per socket', and 'Per instance', are more relevant to on-premises licensing rather than the user-centric approach of SaaS.
