Topic #: 1
[All CCSP Questions]

Within a SaaS environment, what is the responsibility on the part of the cloud customer in regard to procuring the software used?

  • A. Maintenance
  • B. Licensing
  • C. Development
  • D. Purchasing
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
Within a SaaS implementation, the cloud customer licenses the use of the software from the cloud provider because SaaS delivers a fully functional application to the customer. With SaaS, the cloud provider is responsible for the entire software application and any necessary infrastructure to develop, run, and maintain it.
The purchasing, development, and maintenance are fully the responsibility of the cloud provider.

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.

Selected Answer: B
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.)

SaaS is a temporary contract - it's not that you buy something

Selected Answer: B
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.

You do not need to purchase any sw, you pay for a licence, example per user to use the SW provided by the SaaS

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

SaaS products are rarely licenses and almost always "subscriptions". I have to go with D here.

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.
