It could either be a physical server OR a virtual machine We recognize 2 different types of node – data center and lightweight edge (scale out) nodes, with different pricing each. View “What’s a Node for licensing purposes?” for more information.
The 5 nodes free license works in both Datacenter and edge environments.
