VMware sues Siemens for using unlicensed software
Summary
The company is alleged to have demanded that VMware accept a purchase order to provide maintenance and support services for the products listed. After all, mentioning unlicensed products would involve legal risks, while exaggerating usage would result in Siemens paying more for licenses and support. The indictment states that Siemens never provided a credible explanation for why it had handed over a list on September 9 and maintained that it was correct even if it did not correspond with the actual deployment of VMware products. Incidentally, VMware and Siemens were still working together in 2023 to present their joint vision for The Next Era of Global Manufacturing Technology. A VMware spokesperson stated that the change ensures that customers and channel partners have secure and reliable access to the latest software.
