Don't Copy That Floppy

I worked at a company where an disgruntled employee (who had just been let go, as I recall) call the SPA. I think it was in the very late '80s. The company was playing fast and loose with licenses, but it was more due to carelessness than trying to use software for free. anyway, the SPA came in and audited every machine (and there were a lot, maybe 100's). They made a huge list of missing licenses and made the company pay a big fine. I'm not sure it was $100k, but it might have been. And naturally everyone had to buy licenses or remove the app. After that everyone got a copy of Office with each new machine. (since I think word and excel were the biggest problem). Most of the developers had licenses for everything on their machines. -brad Brad Parker Heeltoe Consulting 781-483-3101 http://www.heeltoe.com
