Some 43,000 companies have until tomorrow complete a
Software Audit Return (SAR) form that is designed to
reveal if companies are running software without the
necessary licences.

The Business Software Alliance (BSA) scheme isn't
mandatory but is designed to raise awareness of the
importance of good software asset management.
Apparently.

Using a self-audit tool from the BSA companies and
organisations have been able to check their systems
to see what software they have running and ensure
that their licences are up to date.

The BSA reckons that one in four of all business
software is illegal. ®
