We have never seen any proof, we just got the keys to activate stuff and that's it. Back then it was server licenses, server user CALs, SQL server license, SQL user CALs, RDS licenses. But everything server related has always been bought 'refurbished'.
I was instructed to grant full admin access to them.Ĭlient always bought workstations directly from Dell so those licenses were fine. There was a court order and the 3 dudes doing the checks were accompanied by police. The on-prem audit was extremely thorough. Completely different story with a bunch of lawsuits.
We are 99% sure a fired employee reported the client, said employee was fired for trying to steal company data after said employee said they were leaving for a direct competitor. We weren't around for the first audit but the second audit was on-prem with a party that facilitates audits/checks based on evidence of misconduct.
