It is generally not appropriate to use a personal license for an application on multiple computers in a corporate network without confirming the terms of the license agreement. Each software vendor has different licensing terms and conditions, and using the same license on multiple machines may not be allowed. Additionally, the corporate network may have its own software requirements and policies that need to be followed. Option B suggests the most appropriate course of action. The user should continue using the application on their personal home laptop, which is already licensed, and then contact the software vendor to inquire about the proper licensing for use on the corporate network. By doing this, the user ensures compliance with the software's licensing terms and the company's policies, avoiding potential legal issues or violation of corporate guidelines. Source Chat GPT

Selected Answer: B
The answer could only be A or B but Personal licenses are not always tied to a single machine, so B is slightly better answer as you can usually get a corporate license. I have done this in the past with software I really liked and used it at the office with a different license.

Selected Answer: B
Typically, a license for software is valid for a specific number of installations or users. If a user has a license for personal use on their home laptop, they should adhere to the terms of the license agreement. In this case, it's important for the user to use the application only on the home laptop as per the initial license terms. If the user wants to use the application on multiple computers on the corporate network, they should contact the vendor to inquire about obtaining a corporate license that allows for such usage. Using the application on corporate computers without the appropriate licensing could violate the terms of the license agreement and may result in legal and compliance issues.
