One of my clients has received an audit notification from the Business Software Alliance (BSA). I have always warned my clients about the potential of an audit when I discover that there isn’t a valid license for all the software installed, but this is my first time to gain experiential knowledge. It is disconcerting how many times I acquire a new client, and their stack of media is mostly burned CD’s from their previous IT consultants.
During my research on the topic, I ran across this article that I wanted to link to here for future reference and hopefully you find it as useful as I have:
