# Service Provider Licensing and Billing for Virtualization

Virtualization license usage is calculated depending on whether you purchased a capacity-based or entity-based license:

- VMs protected by VSA with supported applications count to Advanced VMs

- VMs protected by VSA with non-supported applications count to VM Only + Application Server

- VMs not protected by VSA with supported applications count to Application Server

- VMs not protected by VSA with non-supported applications count to Application Server

The following VM protection scenarios appear in the Subclient Peak License report under the indicated license types.

VM Protection | License in Reports

VSA: No other agents present | VM only
VSA A separate file system (FS) not through VSA | VM only FS only VM
