Each physical Server = 1 license

Each VM (hosted on the same physical Server or a different one) = 1 license

Database = 0 license. But a Server that hosts a DB = 1 license 

Application = 0 license. But a Server that hosts an application = 1 license

We just received the following node definition from our ServiceNow Rep:

For Discovery a ‘Node” is considered any active item within the cmdb_ci_server table where Status = Operational and Discovery Source = Servicenow.

Servicenow Discovery Node License calculation is performed on the Server (cmdb_ci_server) table. It refers to the number of servers discovered in last 90 days. This includes physical servers as well as virtual servers. Once in cmdb_ci_server.list the following filters have to be applied Discovery Source--> is -->ServiceNow Most recent discovery -->“at or after” --> Last 90 days
