FC0-U71 Practice Question: Which software license allows a user to install…
Which software license allows a user to install the software on multiple computers for personal use?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse a 'personal license' with a 'single-user, single-device' model, leading candidates to incorrectly choose an enterprise license for multi-computer use, when in fact enterprise licenses are for organizational scale, not personal multi-device rights.

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
✓
Personal license
A personal license grants a single user the right to install the software on multiple devices they own or control, typically for non-commercial use. This is distinct from a per-seat license, which limits installation to one computer per license key. The key differentiator is that the license is tied to the user, not the machine count.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Trial version
Why it's wrong here
A trial version is time- or feature-limited and grants no ongoing right to install on multiple machines; it expires. It is tempting because trials are freely installed on several devices, and it would be correct if the question asked which licence lets a user evaluate software before purchasing.
- ✗
Enterprise license
Why it's wrong here
An enterprise licence permits organisation-wide deployment under a volume agreement, not personal use by an individual across their own computers. It is tempting because it does authorise many installations, and it would be correct if a business needed to license software for numerous employees' devices.
- ✗
Open source license
Why it's wrong here
An open source licence grants rights to use, modify and redistribute source code, not a personal-use entitlement covering multiple installations of proprietary software. It is tempting because open source software is freely installable anywhere, and it would be correct if the question concerned source code access and modification rights.
- ✓
Personal license
Why this is correct
A personal licence grants one individual the right to install and use the software on multiple machines they own, for non-commercial purposes. This matches the stem's requirement for multi-computer installation limited to personal use, unlike single-seat or commercial terms.
