ITPEC IP October 2022 Question 21
ITPEC IP October 2022 — Question 21 of 100
Activation validates that a software installation is licensed for use. It commonly combines a product key or product ID with information about the user's device and verifies the result locally or with the vendor's server, limiting unauthorized installations.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- cloud computing provides computing resources as network services
- streaming delivers media progressively over a network
- fragmentation divides files or storage space into noncontiguous pieces
Key rule: Product activation is license enforcement tied to an installation or device; it is distinct from software delivery and storage techniques.
