CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 Practice Question
During a hardware-refresh project, a systems administrator exports a bare-metal Windows Server image and restores it to a brand-new rack-mount host that has a different CPU and NIC. The line-of-business reporting application installed on the server is licensed with a node-locked model. Which outcome should the administrator expect immediately after the restored system is powered on?
The application will fail its license check and require the vendor to re-host or reactivate the license on the new hardware.
The application will run only if the number of CPU cores in the new server does not exceed the entitlement purchased.
The application will continue to run but will restrict execution to a single concurrent user.
The application will function normally because its license information is stored within the operating-system image.
