Question

During a software audit, a technician discovers that a graphics-design application purchased with a single per-seat license has been installed on 12 workstations across the design department. The department manager says the team needed the software quickly and copied the same installer and key to everyone. What is the technician's MOST appropriate action?

Accepted Answer

Document the non-compliance and advise management that additional licenses must be purchased to match the number of installations

Answer

Leave the installations in place since the license key activated successfully on all machines

Answer

Uninstall the software from all 12 machines and replace it with a free alternative without informing management

Answer

Download a license-key generator to produce valid keys for the remaining installations
