@Alvin.
 
This copyright people ni wanyama.
 
I wonder how they do the audit. in this case if they ask for proof of purchase, the licence. thats good.
 
but if they are to run that tool for checking if your windows is active and genuine...... thats another thing.
 
Most machines have the Certificate of Authenticity sticker on them, but are running counterfeit software.
 
Take it my laptop hase windows vista home licence - (Stupid OS) but i have windows 7 ultimate - fully cracked. oops!
 
Can this land me into problems? What if i have 2 virtual machines with pirated software?
what if i dual boot with windows vista to prove my OS copy is licensed.
 
This licence and copyright is a mater of ethics, ethics that make people like microsoft make money from our conscience. Technically an OS will work on hardware. Ethically its wrong to install a copy of one software on more than one machine. Finacially we loose they gain!

@ Tusker kindly elaborate as the license IS the software...if genuine
and activated then you are good to go :-)

For users in a firm installing their own software then that;'s a MGMT issue
but personally i havent heard of any cases like that :-)
