  1. Avoid These Three Landmines to Avoid a Microsoft license Audit Process Some time ago, Microsoft declared that they would be reducing the number of Microsoft license audit process they perform by a significant amount. But tripping on these landmines will only leave you with a blast of penalties for failing to comply with your license. Hence, you always need to be vigilant about what’s going on in your company, which licenses are in use, and which ones are underutilized and not in compliance. Three Major Signs Indicate That Your Company is About to Get a Microsoft Audit: Acquisition of a New Company

  2. You might not feel like it, but Microsoft is always watching you. Your company is always under surveillance. That’s why, if any company confirms that they are merging with a new company, Microsoft gets alerted. That’s because licenses get transferred in the process, which leads to slip-ups and compliance with Microsoft’s terms and rules. Hence, you must determine which licenses are transferable and fall under the terms of compliance before acquisition. Out of the Blue Email Sometimes employees of an organization get independent emails stating that they need to submit information regarding the deployment of software and other details. Usually, the employees submit the information without knowing that they are putting their company at great risk. That’s why it's better to ask the other employees whether they have also received this email or not before sending a reply. Over or Minimal Reporting Reporting on time is one of the best ways to dodge those harsh Microsoft audit penalties, and that’s also where many companies bite the dust. Over or minimal usage reporting can put you in danger of inviting an audit.

  3. Conclusion The best course of action for a company is to hire a professional who can help them with the reporting process and manage the licenses. For instance, Octopus Cloud is great and is a trusted partner of many IT companies for its services. Not only do they help you scan your IT infrastructure, but they also excel at handling cloud migration and the Microsoft license audit process.
