Legalities and licensing issues aside, there are many compelling reasons to perform a software audit. By doing so, you know who is using which serial numbers so if you need to reinstall, there won't be any inadvertent serial number conflicts. Also, knowing exactly what packages your company owns (and in what quantities) can help avoid needless purchase of superfluous copies when someone suddenly needs a particular program. Escape has worked with far too many companies who have inadvertently bought something they already owned.

Furthermore, many packages require not only a serial number but also a special unlock code in order to function. Should you lose this information, it is like pulling teeth to get the software vendor to provide it to you, if they'll do it at all. Don't risk the thousands of dollars in software your organization owns -- contact Escape for a comprehensive software audit today.
