In the case of a Microsoft license audit, when your Microsoft software provider wants to compare the number of software licenses your company has purchased with the number currently installed on computers. Below, you can read some ways which can help you to avoid Microsoft Licensing Audit Fines: Know about contract terms and fines When you have a Microsoft SPLA licensing, you should have knowledge about software license agreements.

It is important to be aware of changes to the vendor's standard software agreement to avoid any issues in the future. Help from specialists when required Many companies take help from outside expertise such as Octopus Cloud professionals who know how all Microsoft SPLA Audit Tools work. They can help your business to understand the license agreements better. You will also get information about what penalties are there in case of violating the agreement. Remediation plan When you find issues with your licensing agreement, be sure that you have a plan for how you are going to remediate it. Buy the licensing that you don’t already have to avoid the audit penalties. The more direct you are in fixing the issues, the more likely Microsoft will be to help you rather than taking any legal action.
