ITPEC IP April 2025 — Question 78 of 100

Subscription — the user receives the right to use software while paying a recurring fee or for an agreed period.

Unlike a perpetual license, subscription access generally continues only while the subscription remains valid. The provider may bundle updates, cloud services, or support, but the defining feature is time-based or recurring-fee usage rights.

Answer (c)

Why not others:
- (a) Activation verifies or enables an installed license

- (b) Adware is software supported by displaying advertising

- (d) Volume license grants licensing terms for many installations or users in an organization

Key rule: Subscription describes duration and payment model; activation describes enforcement, adware describes funding, and volume licensing describes quantity.
