Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

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 13 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $118,000.

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

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

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, common law contract principles. Your state may provide additional protections.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

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

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
