Pricing Metrics. Unless the Pricing Metric is based on the processing capacity of the Authorized Environment or the number of Users, the Pricing Metric quantity is determined by combining the quantity associated with Customer and Related Entities benefitting from the use of the Software. If the Pricing Metric is based on the number of Users, the Pricing Metric quantity is determined by combining the quantity of Users authorized by Customer or Related Entities to access the Software. If the Pricing Metric is based on the processing capacity of the Authorized Environment, the Pricing Metric quantity is calculated separately for each Authorized Environment used for production purposes based on the processing capacity of the Authorized Environment. If Customer expands the use of the Software to benefit additional Related Entities and such use results in an increase to pricing metric quantities, Customer will notify SAS and pay any applicable additional Fees according to the Upgrade section of the Universal Terms.

Pricing Metrics. The pricing metrics described herein apply to the Software and any Software subcomponents on page 1. For the avoidance of doubt, only those pricing metrics listed on page 1 apply to the Software and Software subcomponents licensed hereunder.
Pricing Metrics i. Certain Software is licensed by “processor cores,” “total cores,” “processor core based,” “total processor cores,” or “processor core count” (or similar language referring to a number of processor cores) as identified in the applicable quotation and/or order (See applicable Part Number on Price List). In such event, the Software license fee is based on the total number of processor cores contained within a single item of authorized hardware. Ordering Activity shall not exceed the licensed number of processor cores.
ii. Certain Software is licensed by “distributed capacity,” “total distributed capacity,” “distributed processor cores,” “distributed processor core based,” “total distributed processor cores,” “total distributed capacity processor cores,” or “distributed processor core count” (or similar language referring to a number of distributed processor cores) as identified in the applicable quotation and/or order (See applicable Part Number on Price List). In such event, the Software license fee is based on the full processing capacity of the computer hardware architecture where distributed Software computation and processing occurs (“Distributed Environment”). Full processing capacity is defined as the total number of physical processor cores, including each physical processor core on each chip, and/or virtual processor cores contained within the Distributed Environment. For the purposes of this Agreement, “authorized hardware” is defined as the Distributed Environment. Ordering Activity shall not exceed the licensed number of processor cores.
iii. The following terms apply to any license for Software that is identified in any applicable order hereunder as for “virtual client use” or use in a virtualized personal computer environment or virtualized client environment (or such similar identification). The Software license fee is based on the total number of users (not concurrent) authorized to access the Software via one or more Virtual Machines on the designated operating system. For purposes of this provision, a “Virtual Machine” is defined as a virtual environment, running a Windows workstation operating system that is created within and managed by a centrally located host computer using commercially available virtualization software providing an interface to access the resources of the host computer. Unless otherwise authorized in writing by EIS, each Virtual Machine is limited to a maximum of four (4) virtual processor cores.
