CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 47

A piece of software applies licensing fees on a socket-based model. Which of the following is the MOST important consideration when attempting to calculate the licensing costs for this software?

Answer options

• A. The amount of memory in the server
• B. The number of CPUs in the server
• C. The type of cloud in which the software is deployed
• D. The number of customers who will be using the software

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as licensing based on a socket model typically depends on the number of CPUs, which directly affects the licensing cost. Options A, C, and D are not primary factors in determining socket-based licensing fees, as memory, cloud type, and customer count do not influence the licensing structure as significantly as the number of CPUs.
