Explanation

In a core-based licensing model (common in Microsoft Windows Server licensing), you license every physical core in the server. The calculation is: 5 servers × 2 sockets per server × 10 cores per processor = 100 cores total. Therefore, 100 core licenses are required. Each core must be individually licensed regardless of utilization, making this a straightforward multiplication of servers × sockets × cores per socket.
