Proof of ownership of the license
Another issue we ran into is the proof you own the license. The receipt my company received when we bought CALs did not include the price of the CAL. That wasn't good enough when we were audit and we had to have the company track down their records(2 yrs pass the sell) for that information so we could pass the audit.
