I would like to see them prove that a user was accessing Word from =
different computers via nfuse in an audit.

their licensing is screwed up, they know it.  I think as long as you =
make the effort to license yourself as properly as you can, the BSA is =
not going to bust you over it unless you piss them off somehow.

Interesting, has the argument been elsewhere other than in the list?

Ultimately could that "virtual session" argument cover your butt in an
audit? =20

Yes and no... there has been an argument for some time about whether =
each
virtual session should be considered for licensing purposes, or each =
remote
machine.  I.e. each user really is 1 virtual session regardless of the
number of remote machines they connect to. =20
