A postcard from Microsoft.
Get compliant before they target you.
Heads up. The Business Software Alliance (BSA) is targeting organizations in your area that are using and selling unlicensed software. This means your customers, and you, run the risk of being investigated and facing penalties of up to $150,000.
That's why we strongly encourage you to double-check your own software licenses and do everything you can to make sure your customers are running 100% legit, properly licensed software.
To help, the BSA is offering a free Software Audit Tool at its website: (deleted). Plus, you can offer your customers up to 20% savings through the Microsoft Open License Program. Call any Microsoft Authorized Distributor today for details:
Notes |
The "BSA" is owned and run by Microsoft. Other members may include Adobe, Apple, Autodesk, Bentley Systems, CNS Software/Mastercom, FileMaker, Macromedia, Symantec and Unigraphics Solutions. A few other large companies formerly supported the BSA. Some fees collected by their targeted raids on businesses, public schools and local/state government offices, are purported to be donated to charity, apparently to install computers running Microsoft software in schools.
