Server Licensing Concepts (SK0-005)
Welcome to the Server Licensing Concepts practice lab. In this module, you will be provided with information on server licensing.
Licensing is important to define the terms and conditions for the use of the product, end-user license agreements, and the service level agreements of support. In this module, you will look at the different licensing models and concepts that can be applied to our servers and discuss some of the pros and cons of each model.
