A network manager at a medium-sized enterprise has been tasked to verify that all network management software used is compliant with licensing agreements after an internal audit revealed discrepancies. Which of the following SHOULD the network manager prioritize to best address this compliance issue?
You selected this option
Implement a retraining program on software management for the IT department
You selected this option
Renew software licenses irrespective of their current deployment status
You selected this option
Automatically update all software to the latest version
You selected this option
Review licenses and their actual usage across the network
Reviewing the current licenses and their usage is the first step in ensuring compliance. This action allows the network manager to compare existing software deployments with the terms and conditions specified in the license agreements. Updating software merely adjusts the version but does not ensure compliance with licensing agreements. Renewing licenses might be necessary but is irrelevant until the current usage is assessed. Retraining staff, while helpful for maintaining standards, does not directly address the specific issue of licensing compliance.
