It would not be wrong to say that
computer software should be treated as a tangible asset. Some organizations or
individuals feel tempted to install or access software on more systems without
a valid license. They do not know that installing or accessing a software
without a valid license is considered as a theft and will be treated as such by
the courts. Microsoft asks companies to self-audit and report the results back
to them. In case a company agrees to pay for licenses, the process ends there.
However, in case a company ignores the requests of Microsoft for a self-audit,
the issue may be turned over to the BSA (Business Software Alliance).
