In recent years, software vendors – and their affiliated 'software police' – have stepped up their onsite audits of computer systems at U.S. businesses. Peter Vogel, a partner in the law firm of Gardere Wynne Sewell, explains why you should conduct a 'self-audit' of your company's computers to check for unlicensed software.
After viewing this program, you should be able to:
~ identify who the software police are and how they operate;
~ explain the liability of businesses for software that is personal or is unused;
~ detail how companies can prevent and detect unlicensed software;
~ indicate the impact of Sarbanes-Oxley and internal controls on software licenses
