I never really involve in purchase of licenses.
depends what you are asking. If you talking abt buying license for software product running on solaris server there are few ways they do it.
Most products that you purchase require a license and that license is generated based on server unique hostid. Some generate based on IP address. I heard oracle charges the license by the number of cpu on your box.
Normally the product sales rep will be familiar with licensing and they can advise you accordingly.

Hi Guys,
Can someone please give me an introduction with hp-ux licensing?
Is the licensing per user or per cpu or both? How do you push it on the server? Or is it included in the hardware price.
Thanks in advance,

LIBLICENSE(1) [FIXME: manual] LIBLICENSE(1)
NAME
license - program to specify and modify media file licenses
SYNOPSIS
license [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The liblicense package provides a license command to allow simple command-line examination and manipulation of license information embedded
in media files. The default action is to show the default license as configured in $HOME/.license. This default can be offered by
applications that use liblicense when asking you what license you would like to release your work under.
In addition to showing you and allowing you to change the embedded license in a file, the license also can show and allow you to change the
embedded "web statement URI", a link to a web page with information about the file that you can use to verify the embedded license.
OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included
below. For a complete description, run the application with --help.
-h --help
Show summary of options.
-v --verbose
Output more information about the actions of the program.
-q --quiet
Output less information about the actions of the program.
-a JURISDICTION --list=JURISDICTION
List all avialbale licenses in JURISDICTION (uses the generic jurisdiction if JURISDICTION is not specified).
--set-license
Sets the license of the file (to the license specified by "-l").
--remove-license
Removes the embedded license metadata from the file.
-l URI --license=URI
When setting the license of a file or the default license preference, set it to URI.
--set-web-statement
Sets the web statement link in the file (to the value specified by "-w").
--remove-web-statement
