Q: 11
An administrator has licensed vSphere components in Connected mode and then switched to
Disconnected mode to meet the company security restrictions, which cannot be violated.
What must the administrator do to ensure the VMware vSphere Foundation license remains valid?

Option B Official docs and practice exams both cover this for air-gapped environments.
Option B
Makes sense to pick B here. Since the company can't have internet at all, only way is that manual license file transfer between VCF and portal every 180 days. If strict airgap, this fits best I think, open to counterpoints.
B. not C or D
Probably B, that's the only way when internet access is strictly off limits in disconnected mode. Manual file exchange every 180 days.
Manual license swap is the only way with that strict security, so B.
B , saw a similar one on a practice exam and it matched the manual file transfer rule.
B fits here since strict security means no internet, so you have to manually move files every 180 days to keep the license valid. I've seen similar wording in exam reports, pretty confident on B but open if anyone has a different take.
If security rules are absolute with no exceptions, B is the only way. If not, D could work, but wording feels strict.
Not C, license isn't perpetual here. D looks tempting but strict security means no internet. Only B fits the disconnected mode requirement-manual license transfer every 180 days. Seen similar wording on practice exams too.
Be respectful. No spam.
