You expose your company to litigation by violating the software license agreement.
You risk losing your job.
Your organization has 20 employees who need an accounting software update installed. Due to a miscommunication, the purchaser only paid to update 10 licenses. The software company issued a paper license and a single key for updating 10 users. Since this is an enterprise paper license, there is no mechanism that enforces a limit to the number of times the key can be used, so you decide to go ahead and update all 20 users.
What are the possible consequences of this decision? (Select two.)
You expose your company to litigation by violating the software license agreement.
Because you should be allowed one to three activations per user, this decision does not put you at risk for negative consequences.
The software company will never detect the violation, so negative consequences are unlikely.
The software will eventually stop working properly for the 10 extra updates you installed.
You risk losing your job.
They are moving away from DRM because of several key shortcomings in the technology.
They are adopting alternatives to DRM, such as encouraging customers not to illegally share digital files.
..(Explanation
Many large digital media vendors are moving away from DRM because it has several key shortcomings, including:
A lack of portability. For example, DRM-protected digital files from a given vendor only play using software or hardware from that same vendor.
A lack of backup support. DRM protection frequently made it such that protected digital files could not be backed up.
Weak encryption. Many applications are available on the internet that can strip DRM protection from digital files.
Risk of obsolescence. Some older digital files are no longer playable on newer hardware.
To address these shortcomings, many vendors have adopted DRM alternatives, such as:
Encouraging customers not to illegally share digital files.
Making digital files so inexpensive and easy to access that it does not make sense to make illegal copies.)
Which of the following is true of the way many large digital media vendors use Digital Rights Management technology today? (Select two.)
They are moving to strengthen the encryption used to protect their digital files.
They are cooperating with other vendors to make their digital files more portable in relation to those vendors' hardware and software.
They are moving away from DRM because of several key shortcomings in the technology.

Control notifications.
GPOs linked to organizational units that contain this user's object.
A user has complained about not being able to remove a program that is no longer needed on a computer. The Programs option is not available in Control Panel.
You suspect that a policy is enabled that hides this option from the user. But after opening the Local Group Policy Editor, you see that the policy to hide Programs is not configured. You know that other users in this domain can access the Programs option.
Where should you look next to determine whether the policy is enabled?
GPOs linked to the domain that contains this user's object.
GPOs linked to organizational units that contain this user's object.
The Local Group Policy.

The GPO linked to the user's organizational unit is applied last, so this setting takes precedence.
Ex: The GPO linked to the user's organizational unit is applied last, so the setting that disables the policy to hide the Programs and Features page takes precedence.
In this question's scenario, Local Group Policy enables the policy to hide the Programs and Features page. When the Default Domain Policy GPO is applied, this policy is set to Not configured, so it doesn't change anything. When the GPO linked to the user's organizational unit is applied, the setting for this policy is disabled, which reverses the setting in the Local Group Policy and makes the Programs and Features page visible to the user. The Local Group Policy is applied first. GPOs linked to the user's domain are applied second and take precedence over settings in the Local Group Policy. GPOs linked to the user's organizational unit are applied last and take precedence over any preceding policy settings.
The Hide Programs setting is configured for a specific user as follows:
After logging in, the user is able to see the Programs and Features option. Why did this happen?
The Local Group Policy is applied last. It is set to Enabled, which makes the Programs and Features option visible.
The GPO linked to the user's organizational unit is applied last, so this setting takes precedence.
The Default Domain GPO is applied last. It is set to Not configured, so it doesn't change the configuration.
The GPO linked to the user's organizational unit is applied first, so this setting takes precedence over settings that are applied later.
