FAQ | License Compliance

In this section, we provide answers to the main questions that may arise related to the software compliance processes conducted by Kasznar Leonardos. If you have further questions, our team is available to assist you.

1. I received an audit notice or an extrajudicial notification. How can I confirm if it is legitimate?

We always send notifications on behalf of a client who holds the intellectual property rights to the software. You can verify the authenticity of the notification by contacting us through the official channels listed on this website or using the form below. Our letters are always signed by one of our lawyers listed in the “Our Team” section. (Link to the section with the list of partners and team members)

2. Why was my company notified if we already have software licenses?

Our notification does not assume bad faith on the recipient’s part. Often, there are inconsistencies between actual usage and the licenses contracted, such as unformalized expansions, inadvertent installation by third parties, or failures in software asset governance. The goal is to clarify these issues, and once non-compliance is identified, propose a regularization.

3. What are the risks if I do not respond to the letter?

Failure to respond may be interpreted as unjustified refusal to participate in the audit process, which could lead to legal actions, including copyright infringement lawsuits. Dialogue is always the most efficient and cost-effective route, preventing costs related to fees, legal expenses, and possible harm to the company’s reputation.

4. Does simply uninstalling the irregular software resolve the situation?

No. Simply uninstalling the software does not eliminate the liability generated by previous use without a license. Misuse constitutes copyright infringement and may result in a duty to compensate. Regularization involves acquiring the corresponding licenses and potentially entering into an agreement to settle the matter.

5. What is the next step after receiving the notification?

The first step is to respond to the communication, acknowledging receipt of the letter. Next, we suggest scheduling a meeting to clarify any doubts and define the best path for internal auditing and analyzing the situation. Our team is available to provide all necessary support.

6. Is it mandatory to allow access to my company's equipment?

We do not request physical or remote access to your equipment. The audit is conducted by you based on technical information provided by our team.

7. Is my company at risk of a search and seizure?

Measures such as search and seizure are legal resources available in the case of copyright violations. However, we always prioritize amicable solutions and cooperative approaches. Collaboration in the process prevents the need for legal measures.

8. Is there a risk of public exposure of my company during the audit process and license agreement negotiation?

No. The process of regularizing licenses is confidential. All audit and negotiation procedures are conducted under confidentiality agreements, avoiding any public exposure, except in extreme cases of legal action, when the proceedings may become public by law.

9. My company has already responded and received no feedback. What should we do?

If you have not received a response after 48 hours, we may not have received your message. In this case, please contact us through other available channels, such as by phone.

10. Can I negotiate the licensing directly with the manufacturer instead of with Kasznar Leonardos?

Kasznar Leonardos is the official representative of the software manufacturer to handle the matter referenced in the notification. Negotiations towards an agreement are formally delegated to our team through a power of attorney. Any negotiation outside of this channel will not be recognized by the copyright holder of the software.

11. My company does not use the software mentioned in the letter. What should I do?

If you believe your company does not use the software mentioned in the notification, we recommend responding formally, informing us of this and, if possible, providing any data to support this statement. Our team will forward the information to the software provider for analysis and will respond accordingly.

12. Can I contest the technical evidence presented in the letter?

Yes. If you disagree with the technical data provided, you can submit a contestation, preferably supported by data that corroborates your position. Our technical and legal team will review the information and may propose further checks or technical meetings to clarify any points.

13. What does "amicable and extrajudicial regularization" mean?

It means resolving the situation directly with Kasznar Leonardos, without involving courts or legal actions. The focus is on reaching an agreement that regularizes the licenses and potentially compensates for prior use, in a swift and confidential manner.
