He was able to install the software on his home PC (not connected to the Internet), which is identical to his office PC, but the application will not install on his office desktop. What could be stopping him from installing the application?
  1. The RJ-45 cable is damaged.
  2. A software restriction policy setup by the IT team.
  3. The corporate network is down.
  4. The application can be installed only on Home PCs.
