Am I really compliante?

What is this issue regarding licenses for applications added to a system only valid for one year?

In the last few months I have really looked into our company?s software compliance issue. Yes, we needed to buy licenses to cover some users. Ihave purchased them. In doing this I have pointed out that this is a very important goal to get completely compliant.

I have one of my main vendors informed me that non-OEM application licenses are only good for a year. Is this vendor trying to take me or am I truly not compliant? Can you please shed some light on this issue?

I REALLY WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT. IS THIS A REAL CONCERN?
