I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

software license audit threat. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 15 months ago. I am not sure I have the original signed copy. The total amount in dispute is approximately $43,000.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under UCC Article 2. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct a material breach.

One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

I've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.
