Which of the following is NOT a remediation option?

In the context of Software Asset Management, remediation options are actions taken to address software licensing compliance issues or to optimize software usage. Purchasing rights, creating allocations, and removing unallocated installs all involve managing software licenses and ensuring compliance to some extent, which fits the definition of remediation.

When considering the correct choice, removing licensed software refers to uninstalling software that is actively licensed and used, which typically would not be classified as a remediation option in a standard sense. Rather, remediation focuses on correcting compliance issues or optimizing the asset usage without necessarily removing valid and necessary software from systems. Therefore, while uninstalling software can be a part of asset management, it does not inherently remedy a compliance issue since it may instead compound challenges by removing required tools from users.

In this way, the other options are actions aimed at correcting or optimizing software license compliance and usage, whereas the removal of licensed software does not align with fulfilling compliance or operational needs.
