$ spent/user all inclusive, and user satisfaction surveys.
You should be low on the $/user and a little above middling on satisfaction. If you're too high on satisfaction, you're likely overstaffed and could get the first number down.

That's how the business is going to look at it unless your'e generating revenue. Then it's all about ROI.

This is a management issue. Explain to management the legal problems of running pirated software, the costs of getting right, and the potential for someone who was disgruntled to turn in the company for reward money. If they still decide not to act, then enjoy the reward money. Just document everything so it's clear you tried to get eh company right with their licenses.
