CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 303

A server administrator purchased a single license key to use for all the new servers that will be imaged this year. Which of the following MOST likely refers to the licensing type that will be used?

Answer options

• A. Per socket
• B. Open-source
• C. Per concurrent user
• D. Volume

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Volume' because it allows multiple installations of software using a single license key, which is suitable for the scenario described. The 'Per socket' option typically refers to licensing based on the number of physical CPU sockets, while 'Open-source' indicates software that is freely available for modification and distribution, which does not fit the context. 'Per concurrent user' licensing is based on the number of users accessing the software at the same time, which is not applicable here.
