A small business has several computers and printers that are not networked throughout its office. The business owner is considering installing a local area network (LAN). Which of the following is the most significant benefit of installing a local area network?
  1. Software applications with a single-use license can legally be installed on multiple networked computers.
  2. Printers on the network can be accessed from any of the networked computers.
  3. The performance of the computers and peripherals on the network will improve.
  4. Peripheral devices installed on the network are less likely to experience technical difficulties.
Explanation
Correct Response: B. A local area network (LAN) will allow networked peripherals such as printers and scanners to be shared by all workers on the network. A single-user software license (A) does not allow multiple installations even if all computers are on the same network. A LAN should not have any effect on the performance of computers or peripherals (C). A LAN would not reduce the likeliness of technical difficulties (D). There is a possibility of increased technical difficulties due to the increased complexity of the connections.
