Which licensing type involves licensing processors on physical servers or virtual machines?

The licensing type that involves licensing processors on physical servers or virtual machines is known as "Per Processor." This type of licensing is typically based on the number of processors that are installed in a server or allocated to a virtual machine. It allows organizations to pay for the software usage based on the actual hardware that is utilized, enabling broader deployment across multiple users or devices without needing to license each one individually.

"Per Processor" licensing is particularly relevant for server-based applications where software is run on multiple devices concurrently. This model can be cost-effective for organizations with high utilization of their servers, as it generally simplifies compliance requirements and provides flexibility in how the software is deployed.

In contrast, other licensing types focus on the number of users or devices accessing the software, which does not directly relate to processor licensing. This makes the "Per Processor" model distinct in its application and purpose within Software Asset Management.
