Explanation:
This is a Trick question. Although 17 separate licenses need to be purchased from VMware (one for the VC server, and four for each of the other four categories), the key phrase is: "How many license files need to be installed on the license server". A license server only ever has one license file.
Quick Start Guide: In license server-based licensing mode, a single license file is stored centrally on a license server, which makes these licenses available to one or more hosts.
Installation & Upgrade Guide: Server-based license files configured through the VI Client areplaced at the following location on the machine running the VMwarelicense server:
C:Program FilesVMwareVMware License Servervmware.lic.
To add new licenses, edit the license file and restart the VMware license server.
