Software licensing is an important issue to be aware of within your organisation.
Most of the software providers are cracking down on businesses that are not licensed or simply under licensed.
For example; did you know that with most versions of Microsoft Office 2003 it has to be activated with Microsoft.
Each time it is used Microsoft record it and once activated more than twice you have to call Microsoft to get a new
activation code.
When you do this you will be asked how many PC's is that software installed on and why are you re-installing the software
Also if you are using a copy of Windows XP that has been identified as a misused copy , you will be unable to download many of the updates
that Microsoft provide free of charge.
The above are some of the more common licensing issues , but the fact is if you are found using illegal software your organisation could
be fined thousands of pounds.
Allow us to audit your software and we will give you a confidential report on the state of your software licensing, and advise on the best way of
ensuring your licenses are valid and of sufficient quantities.
