CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 155

Which of the following licensing models was created by software companies in response to the increasing density of processors?

Answer options

• A. Per-instance
• B. Per-server
• C. Per-user
• D. Per-core

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The Per-core licensing model was established to address the growing number of processor cores in servers, allowing software companies to charge based on the number of cores utilized. The other models, while valid, do not specifically account for the increased density of processors, thus making them less suitable in this context.
