Document background
The Software License Compliance Policy serves as a crucial governance document for organizations operating in India, establishing comprehensive guidelines for managing software assets and ensuring compliance with licensing requirements. This policy becomes essential as organizations increasingly rely on various software applications and face complex licensing arrangements, requiring structured approaches to maintain compliance and mitigate risks. The document addresses specific requirements under Indian legislation, including the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the Copyright Act, 1957, while providing practical guidelines for software acquisition, usage monitoring, and compliance reporting. It is particularly relevant in the current digital transformation landscape where organizations must carefully manage their software assets while adhering to legal and regulatory requirements.
