We all know were not compliant and we all no that there is software somewhere on our networks that is not licensed. The odd extra copies of Office, few downloads etc.
Software licensing is a massive IT problem in itself, created by a beuracratic mentality and costing companies a fortune to manage. Licensing should be straightforward and simple, something we should not have to worry about. It is beyond all belief that we need courses, seminars and conferences to discuss it.
Microsoft is the worst offender of complex licensing and the biggest moaner when users aren’t complying. Well Microsoft has had it’s chance to get it right time and again, the only way forward now is for national Governments to step in a legislate to simplify and standardise the issuing of software licences.
