Answer:

Yes, the software license is a major problem in cloud computing.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ad network administrator or system administrator he or she has to buy hardware appliance such server, firewall protection and operating system and their licenses. Each purchase is addon cost to and depends on the organization decided on the investment process.

Moreover, the system administrator should do daily routine check the patches of the operating system and firewall and schedule checking has to be made and update the firewall. In case if any hijacking taking place he has to contact immediately the hardware firewall supplier or service provider for help

In clouds, all threats are taken care and the network administrator only has to check any new supporting software that has to update in the client pc or workstation and laptop.

As an investor of organizations has to compare cloud licenses cost and local hardware appliance and software licenses and has to make a decision.
