Do you have questions about the ins & outs of software
license compliance audits? Are you concerned that you may not be prepared to
counter a software license audit, or a copyright violation audit? The average business is currently hunted by as many as 100 anti-piracy auditing groups. Very few
enterprises trust these enforcement groups to provide
answers without pursuing their own hidden agenda, so where can you go to find a trusted resource?
Take a few minutes & step through the following confidential
quiz from The Institute for Technology Asset Management. Your ability to answer
– or not answer – these simple questions will give you an excellent baseline
regarding your chances of minimizing exposure to crippling software
license non compliance & copyright violation audits.
The “Software License Compliance & Copyright Compliance Baseline Quiz” is available HERE.
As you step through the quiz, keep track of the number of issues for which your only justifiable answer is "no." A valid justifiable answer is one you can prove "...to the satisfaction of the copyright holder..." so anything you cannot prove must produce a "no" answer to the quiz issue. Each of
these issues will represent a specific weakness in your preparedness for
stonewalling, or at least minimizing, the impacts of a punitive enforcement
audit.
