Question by Kurt A. · Dec 03, 2015 at 10:48 AM · configuration agent server license apache

How is Apache licensed? When is a WebServer agent consumed?

I am wondering what's the actual unit/mechanism which consumes one WebServer agent license (e. g. Apache instances).

Let's say we use prefork MPM in httpd, so how many agents do we need?

Apache consumes one license per parent process.

Thanks Patrick! So in case of prefork MPM we still use only one license, because there is one licnese because there is a parent process. Correct?

This Multi-Processing Module (MPM) implements a non-threaded, pre-forking web server. Each server process may answer incoming requests, and a parent process manages the size of the server pool.
