CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 2

A cloud architect created a new delivery controller for a large VM farm to scale up according to organizational needs. The old and new delivery controllers now form a cluster. However, the new delivery controller returns an error when entering the license code. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause?

Answer options

• A. A firewall is blocking the port on the license server.
• B. The existing license is for a lower version.
• C. The existing license is not supported for clusters.
• D. The existing license has expired.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because some licenses are specifically designed for standalone use and may not function when deployed in a clustered setup. Options A, B, and D are less likely causes; a firewall issue would typically prevent any connection, a lower version license would still allow entry, and an expired license would generally not allow any activation at all.
