Can you clarify how SNOW determines the appropriate licensing metric for these products and whether this can be adjusted to reflect Microsoft’s licensing rules?

Just for future readers, to give some context: Licensing per VM is not prohibited by Microsoft, that is not 100% clear from @EvanLosh​ 's comments above.
