FC0-U71 Practice Question: Install a software package on a company laptop
A technician is asked to install a software package on a company laptop. The licensing type requires the software to be installed on a single device and cannot be transferred. Which licensing model is being described?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse 'perpetual' (indefinite duration) with 'non-transferable' (locked to hardware), but OEM licenses are a specific subset of perpetual licenses that are permanently bound to the original device.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
OEM license.
An OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) license is tied to the specific device it was originally installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. This matches the scenario where the software must be installed on a single device and cannot be moved, as OEM licenses are permanently bound to that hardware.
