a while ago I've got an e-mail asking me to fill out a report about IT assets. They claim to work for Microsoft, that Microsoft has the right to ask for this information and I have to do it.
Well, they also sent me a list of licenses purchases by my company in 2002 (25 Client Access Licenses for Windows 2000 and 3 Windows Server 2000 licenses).
Don't volunteer anything. They want to find instances of your company failing to comply with license agreements and make you pay for it all with penalties. If you volunteer to have them assist you in verifying license compliance then your company could end up like Ernie Ball. Escalate it to management and legal. Do nothing without written instructions from your management, the end result is likely to be unpleasant and someone will be blamed. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
