A company is comparing an application environment to be hosted on site versus a SaaS model of the same application. Which of the following SaaS-based licensing models should the administrator consider?
Correct Answer: D
Per user is a common SaaS-based licensing model that charges customers based on the number of users who access the software. This model is suitable for applications that have a clear and consistent user base, such as CRM, ERP, or collaboration tools. Per user licensing allows customers to scale up or down their usage as their needs change, and only pay for what they use. Per user licensing also simplifies the billing and management of the software, as customers do not need to worry about the underlying infrastructure, hardware, or software updates.
