in SaaS model, the licence is generally included and the customer is purshasing to the cloud provider the right to use the software. Cloud provider is bundling the licence into its model. for me: D
B. Licensing is the correct answer. In a traditional sense, software isn't purchased in a SaaS model. The customer pays a subscription fee; the software remains the property of the CSP.
You are SUBSCRIBING to the license which gives you access to usage of the software. The CSP purchases the software to make it available to its customers. Therefore, the CSP is responsible for its availability (maintenance, development, patches, updates, etc.)
Proper answer is LICENSING
after ISC2 materials:
Cloud Service Capabilities
Application and software licensing: Customers no
longer need to purchase licenses, support, and associated
costs, as licensing is “leased” and is relevant only when in
use (covered by the provider). Additionally, purchasing of
bulk licensing and the associated CapEx is removed and
replaced by a pay-per-use licensing model.
no, you are licensing the / leasing the software. When you purchase something, you own it. In SaaS, you don't own the software, you just have a non-exclusive, temporary right to use a service
From CBK: Application and software licensing: Customers no longer need to purchase
licenses, support, and associated costs because licensing is leased and is relevant
only when in use (covered by the provider). Additionally, purchasing of bulk
licensing and the associated CapEx is removed and replaced by a pay-per-use
licensing model.
I think the question and answers are not correctly done. But I see why it is licensing here.
The CSC pay (i.e purchase) the CSP to be licensed to use the SaaS. "Purchasing" is the only reasonable answer here.
