Hi Please can someone explain to me exactly how does the UTM 9 licensing work if the firewall is loaded on our own hardware (not a VM or hardward appliance) is it per a users or per a core ?

It is per IP.
In fact, it is per User, protected behind SG.
So all "person", which are profit by the protection of SG / UTM, have to be licensed.
The IP Tracking is some sort of helper to get the proper amount of Licenses.
Here is the Legal Document.

Toni's information is correct, but there are situations where it's not really per-user. If you have 35 people with VoIP phones and mobile phones and you have five servers and five printers, you might need a 150-user license unless you pay attention to how the non-PC/server devices are configured. Otherwise, a 50-User license could work.
