      So, its 6 days shy of 2 months and this is finally complete... they tried their best, but couldn't find anywhere I was short on licenses. What a complete and utter waste of time.

      Did they do an inhouse audit?

          It must be different today than when I did one several years ago. I didn't actually have to tell them about anything I was using...

          I'm assuming you had to count everything you were using so they could compare it against what they had on file for you as purchased?

            @Dashrender Yes, then provide proof of windows OEM licenses (5 invoices from dell is all they required) They wanted a count of all devices (phones, tablets, MFPs, laptops, pcs) Then they asked what software I had installed and compared what I had to what they showed. They were missing about 6 open-business agreements I had so I had to find proof of purchase on those.
