What is the difference between VPS and dedicated licenses?

Plesk distinguishes between two types of licensing for the Control Panel:

Licenses for virtual environments
Licenses for dedicated environments

VPS licenses (or Virtual Private Server licenses) can only be installed on servers that use one of the virtualization technologies supported by Plesk.

Supported virtualization technologies:

Technology	VPS Licenses	Dedicated Licenses
Virtuozzo	Yes	Yes
Xen	Yes	Yes
KVM	Yes	Yes
Hyper-V	Yes	Yes
VMware	Yes	Yes
Other	No	Yes

Dedicated licenses can be installed on dedicated servers as well as on all virtual servers. Dedicated licenses are more expensive than VPS licenses, but can also be used on physical servers without any problems.
