Which of the following is the number of licenses required for ten quad CPU servers with 12-core processors in a socket-based licensing model?

In a socket-based licensing model, the total number of licenses required is determined by counting the physical CPU sockets across all servers, irrespective of the core count per CPU.

Why each option

In a socket-based licensing model, the total number of licenses required is determined by counting the physical CPU sockets across all servers, irrespective of the core count per CPU.

A40

B48

This number is incorrect as it does not align with the total socket count for a socket-based licensing model.

C120

This number would represent the total cores on a subset of servers or imply a different licensing model entirely, not socket-based licensing for the given configuration.

D240

This number does not correspond to the total socket count and would be incorrect for a socket-based licensing model.

E480

This number represents the total number of cores across all servers (10 servers * 4 CPUs/server * 12 cores/CPU = 480 cores), which is relevant for core-based licensing, not socket-based.
