Anyone here gone through software license audit threat?

Tbh 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 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 24 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $89,000.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

Following this thread — Are you me? Literally going through this rn.

This comes up a lot.

Pro tip: always escalate. The frontline people can't do anything/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.
