OK, you added the "with your authorization" qualifier. But, the answer is still "yes, under some circumstances". Even without a warrant. I don't pretend to know all the possibilities, but one is pursuing a fleeing felon.
I don't know if this situation qualifies or not. That's why I'm asking about the process that the BSA uses before they show up at someone's door with the US Marshals to conduct an "unannounced software audit". You claim there is one, but so far all you have done is offer your opinion.
No. I have every software license for every machine that I use. If you value the tools you use, you need to take responsibility.
You are absolutely sure? I keep asking if you believe your company would survive a BSA audit, and you haven't yet answered.
