You are "correctly licensed" when quota's have been met.

Sounds like the BSA (Business Software Alliance), aka the militant
branch of Microsoft, who tend to only pounce when they get a tip off
about a company running more than they're licensed for. Has anyone in
IT left lately due to being sacked/layed off or complaining of being
mistreated, most tip offs to bodies like BSA are from people who
recently left a company and feel the need to 'get back at' the company
relatively safely (and pick up a bounty if any over use is
discovered[1]).

[1] Which is pretty much always. I've yet to come accross any company
of a reasonable size that could be sure it was correctly licensed.
