I've had to go through a BSA audit after we fired a former employee. The BSA sent their usual demand that we provide proof that we're fully licensed. We (I mean the Finanace and IT department) spent weeks going over years old receipts and license records. Countless hours lost to this bullshit while real work went uncompleted.... the BSA then said that out paperwork was insufficient, that that we would have to produce the original purchase orders. Round and round it went until the C-levels at the company finally bent over and begged "not too hard please". We wound up having to pay a fine for like a single copy of Visio or something. the most expensive copy of Visio anyone has every paid.
The BSA exists entirely to make money for itself. Everything you do will not satisfy them. They really should be stopped under RICO.
