I heard from another person in our company who just took the test that this
question was on his test, too, and that the answer that was required to get
a point for the question was "unlimited" as Richard indicated below.

Normally, I would not help someone directly with the test answers because
the test should help sort out people who really haven't worked with ADSM
enough to be called an ADSM Specialist.

Regardless of the inaccuracy of the question, to get credit for the
question, you have to answer it unlimited.  However, this answer is
incorrect within my experience.  Perhaps someone else knows how you might
make it work.

There is no way that I know of to enter "unlimited" in an ADSM register
license command.  You can buy a product with unlimited client licenses, but
you get certificates for some thousands of clients, not an unlimited
license. I've never seen a 0client.lic.  Does anyone have a certificate that
shows 0 or "unlimited"?

If you kept adding the 50client.lic license an unlimited number of times,
you would, of course, eventually overflow some datastructure in ADSM or the
operating system.  Besides, you can't enter a command an unlimited number of
times.

Even if you could have an unlimited number of clients registered, which I
would like to have, it doesn't make practical sense to use too many for the
reasons we've all given, so the test question tends to lead an aspiring
learner astray.

Anyone who wrote the question want to try to justify it?
