CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 117

A technician installs specialized software on a workstation. The technician then attempts to run the software. The workstation displays a message indicating the software is not authorized to run. Which of the following should the technician do to MOST likely resolve the issue?

Answer options

• A. Grant permissions to the installation directory.
• B. Attach the external hardware token.
• C. Install OS updates.
• D. Restart the workstation after installation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because specialized software often requires an external hardware token for authorization to run properly. Options A and C do not address the specific authorization issue, while D would not resolve the problem if the software is inherently unauthorized without the token.
