This is a rather new tactic that appears to be making the rounds. NAI has their notorious "renew your contract or delete our software message"

I was somewhat surprised at the tone...especially the part about avoiding further legal action. I evaluated the software on a test network and removed it when I found it didn't fit what I was looking for. Is it my imagination or are sales guys getting really pushy lately...sorry for the OT post, just had to rant.

If Sophos is an anti virus package that you wish to evaluate please contact me for an extension, if not please remove the software from your systems immediately to avoid further legal action. Our software does have the ability to report illegal/unlicensed use back to us. Sincerely, Justin Justin D.
