Default Re: I have a silly question.

It was over many violations of the Software Business Alliance. When I say mulitple copies, I mean we had, at that time, nearly 500 computers, each using a single copy of windows 95, 98. Do the math. Add in all of the other software that was being used, all from ONE copy, and you see how the fines added up. According to the news letter, and the educational classes, the company came to a settlement over the violations and bought all the licenses they needed to run the software they had. That and the fines came to well over a million. It was a very costly mistake. VERY COSTLY.

So again, my recommendation is better safe than sorry, each should have their own copy, bought legally as the SBA can cehck this too.
