Which of the following is the BEST way to prevent software license violations?

A.
Implementing a corporate policy on copyright infringements and software use.

B.
Requiring that all PCs be diskless workstations.

C.
Installing metering software on the LAN so applications can be accessed through the metered
software.

D.
Regularly scanning used PCs to ensure that unauthorized copies of software have not been
loaded on the PC.

Explanation:
Since its impossible to control all the efforts of the users to install software without
the proper licenses in their PC´s (Specially downloaded from the Internet), the best way to prevent
licenses violations is through regular audit to every single user PC to see what’s the installed
programs are and what’s the nature of them (Shareware, freeware, licensed). We cant use LAN

monitoring software because not all the applications are network enabled, also, there is usually a
policy about software installation, but the users do not rely on them many times. It also a very nice
practice to punish the users making software license violations.
