If you are no longer employed by a registered firm, can you renew your license?

The choice indicating that you can renew your license but may not engage in licensed activities is correct. In the context of fire alarm regulations, if an individual is no longer employed by a registered firm, they retain the ability to renew their license, as the renewal process itself is typically not contingent upon current employment status. However, the critical point is that without association with a registered firm, the individual is prohibited from engaging in any activities that require that license, such as working on fire alarms or overseeing installation and maintenance processes.

This reflects the regulatory framework designed to ensure that all operational activities involving fire alarms are conducted under the supervision of a registered firm, thereby maintaining safety and compliance with fire alarm standards. Thus, while the renewal of the license maintains the individual's certification, it does not authorize practical application without the backing of an appropriate employer.

The other options imply either complete prohibition of renewal or conditional engagement in licensed activities that doesn't align with the established regulations, which clarify that renewal can occur independently, provided active engagement in licensed work is not permitted without a registered firm.
