All of our software products are fully legal, but to give you an extra peace of mind, we offer an exclusive option for an additional Transactional audit when ordering used software from us, performed by the trusted consulting firm Deloitte.
Transactional audit of used software licenses
Our offer of Transactional audit by Deloitte is the perfect solution when you prefer to be extra cautious when it comes to used software.

How does the Transactional audit process look?

- the original licensee is an entity located in the EU or EEA,
- the original software license is perpetual,
- there are documents from which it can be inferred that the original licensor was paid for the software copy(ies) and in what amount,
- the legal documentation provided includes a commitment by the original purchaser to uninstall/discard all prior copies of the software, cease use of the software, and take steps to prevent further use within the original purchaser’s organization.
