Software License Compliance is determined by whether you have legally acquired, configured, and are utilizing a genuine copy of a given copyrighted product in accordance to the licensed terms set down by the copyright holder. While this concept seems simple enough, companies often struggle to maintain compliance due to the sheer number of licenses, metrics, contracts, and vendors that they must manage. In today's IT environment, technologies such as virtualization and cloud computing further compound the difficulties in managing compliance. With software publishers actively auditing their customers for non-compliance, it's ever more important to self-audit and address non-compliance issues as quickly as possible.
