A company has a policy governing the use of software licenses and the reporting of software usage for internal projects. According to the policy, a project manager must submit a license request and receive approval before any employee may use the software. Once the request is approved, licenses may be assigned to employees, and the software is made available. A project officially begins only after the software has been made available. Employees may use the software only during the official project timeline, and usage logs must be submitted within 15 days after the project concludes.
A project manager obtained a software license for the project and ensured that both the project manager and the team members complied with all policy requirements.
Select for Must be true the statement that must be true given the information provided and select for Must be false the statement that must be false given the information provided. Make only two selections, one in each column.

GMAT Club Official Explanation:
Must Be False:
• The project manager submitted a license request after a team member had already started using the software for the project.
This contradicts the policy, which requires that a license request be submitted and approved before any use of the software. Since both the project manager and team members complied with all policy requirements, this situation could not have occurred. This statement must be false.
Must Be True:
• The project manager’s team used the software for the project only during the official project timeline.
The policy allows software to be used only during the official project timeline. The setup confirms that all parties followed the policy. Therefore, this statement must be true.
Neither True Nor False:
• The project manager submitted the usage logs exactly 10 days after the project ended.
The policy requires submission within 15 days but does not specify when. This is possible but not required.
• A team member identified the need for the software for the project.
The setup does not state who first identified the need. This cannot be confirmed or ruled out.
• The majority of the project-related expenses were related to licensing the software.
We don’t know what other project expenses were incurred, so we can’t tell whether licensing made up the majority. The passage gives no cost breakdown.

Let's check each statement:
The project manager submitted a license request after a team member had already started using the software for the project.
If a team member had already started using the software before the request was submitted, that would be a violation of the policy. Since they complied, this statement must be false.
The project manager’s team used the software for the project only during the official project timeline.
Compliance with this specific rule means they used the software only during the official project timeline. This statement must be true.
The project manager submitted the usage logs exactly 10 days after the project ended.
"Within 15 days" means any time from day 1 to day 15 (inclusive). Exactly 10 days is within 15 days, so it's possible but not necessary. They could have submitted it on day 1, day 5, or day 15. This statement is not necessarily true.
A team member identified the need for the software for the project.
The policy specifies who submits the request (project manager) and when (before use), but it says nothing about who identifies the need for the software. It could have been the project manager, a team member, or even a higher-up. This statement is not necessarily true.
The majority of the project-related expenses were related to licensing the software.
The policy discusses how licenses are obtained and used, but it provides no information about the cost of licenses relative to other project expenses. This statement is not necessarily true.
Therefore:
Must be true : The project manager’s team used the software for the project only during the official project timeline.
Must be false: The project manager submitted a license request after a team member had already started using the software for the project.
The project manager submitted a license request after a team member had already started using the software for the project.
If a team member had already started using the software before the request was submitted, that would be a violation of the policy. Since they complied, this statement must be false.
