VMware Sues Siemens Over Unlicensed Software

VMware is suing Siemens' US operations for allegedly using more VMware software than licensed. The dispute began when Siemens requested extended support, submitting a list of its VMware software that significantly exceeded its purchased licenses. Siemens later attempted to retract the list, leading VMware to believe they intentionally concealed unlicensed software use. This lawsuit follows VMware's recent announcement of changes to its software download process, a move aimed at better tracking license compliance.
