*focus on these ones
What it is: Making sure the software you install won't harm your computer or steal your info.
Example: Using Approved Software
What it Means: Only installing software that has been checked and approved by experts.
Why it’s Important: If you install something sketchy, you could get a virus or get hacked
What it is: Rules that say how and where you can use the software.
Example: Concurrent and Nonconcurrent Licenses
Concurrent Licenses: Allows a certain number of users to use the software at the same time. Think of it like a shared bike—anyone can use it, but only a few people can ride at once.
Nonconcurrent Licenses: These are for one person only, and no one else can use it when that person is using it.
Why it’s Important: Breaking these rules can get you into legal trouble.
What it is: Rules that say what each user can and can’t do in the software.
What it Means: Some users might be able to change settings, while others can only use basic features.
Why it’s Important: This keeps people from messing with stuff they shouldn't, like important files or settings.
What it is: Rules about who can access the software over a network (like your school’s WiFi).
What it Means: Even if you have the software on your computer, you might need special permission to use it on a network.
Why it’s Important: This helps keep the network safe and makes sure only the right people have access.
So, before you click "Install," make sure you think about these things. It will help you avoid problems later on!
