Microsoft to audit your company's software licenses

C|Net | at | by Mike

Microsoft launched a campaign in the United Kingdom to get midrange companies to submit to a software audit.

Those who refuse risk having their details being handed to the Business Software Alliance, which will execute follow-up interviews that could result in fines and other penalties.

The company revealed on Monday that it is launching the campaign, which is aimed at companies that have not already joined similar licensing schemes such as the controversial Windows Genuine Advantage.
