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 function normally because its license information is stored within the operating-system image.
The application will continue to run but will restrict execution to a single concurrent user.
The application will run only if the number of CPU cores in the new server does not exceed the entitlement purchased.
