Does anyone know if there is a published and accepted disclaimer that can be used by System Administrators or Desktop Specialist that absolves them from legal the responsibility for Software Licenses? I am looking for something to give Management that informs them that due to their policies and practices that I will not be held responsible for unlicensed software.

I hate to tell you this, but I believe your only legal route to protection would be to quit.

To secure your protection, you would have to turn them in to the software alliance.

Serving them with a legal document would not protect you because you would still be aware of the practice, and thus an accomplice.

Also, if the company is shirking it's software license obligation, what makes you think that they wouldn't use the notice against you if legal action took place?

Either way, I would speak with a lawyer that is knowledgable in both labor law and software licensing before taking any action.
