ITPEC IP April 2024 — Question 19 of 100
Activation validates a software license for a particular installation or device to prevent unauthorized use. During product activation, a product key or product ID may be checked together with information derived from the computer's hardware. The vendor then confirms that the license is valid and that its permitted number or type of installations has not been exceeded.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- (b) Cloud computing provides computing resources or applications over a network
- (c) Streaming delivers media or other data progressively so it can be processed before the complete file is downloaded
- (d) Fragmentation is the scattering of file blocks or free storage areas into noncontiguous pieces
Key rule: Product activation is a license-control process that binds or verifies a software entitlement against an installation, account, or device.
