It is now more important than ever that businesses understand the status of their multiple software licences: what they have installed, who is using it, how much they are paying and how much of it is legal.
Changing business circumstances may mean that licences need to be updated; employees may have loaded rogue software onto company systems; and the business may have software it never uses.
By managing their software assets more actively, businesses can get a better understanding of their costs while staying legal. And given that the Business Software Alliance recently doubled the bounty it pays to individuals who inform on those running unlicensed software, it has become a critical business issue.
Therefore the article will focus on why it is important for businesses to understand the legalities of multiple software licences and how businesses can ensure they stay legal
