Software vendors are aggressively auditing their customers. The largest organizations are being targeted the hardest.

Software vendors are continuing their aggressive practices of auditing their customers for software license compliance. 63% of respondents report having been audited in the last 18-24 months. This high level of auditing is a continuation of existing practices reported in last year’s Key Trends in Software Pricing and Licensing Report on this topic, at which times 64% of respondents reported having been audited.
