Using unlicensed software, will the admin be held responsible?

I’ll get right to the point, I’m an individual entrepreneur, I serve organizations under a subscription service agreement. The contract, of course, states that all software is installed from the customer's distribution kit, and it is not responsible for its licensed cleanliness and in this style. And in general, offices + - white. Well, of course it is everywhere, but not critical, for the most part up to 50 thousand is not recruited. But, there is one company, also an IP, where there is a lot of non-license + there is a terminal server for 20 users, with the left Win server and without Remote CALs, with the left ms office and 1C in the same place (but it is licensed). He offered to move the server somewhere far away, maybe even to another country, but the IP believes that we are small and so on, they won’t come to us (and there are employees from the management who think the same way), and if they come, they still pay, even if everything is licensed. I'm tired of it, began to put the question point-blank, type or licensed (certainly will not be, if with CALs 300+ thousand comes out) or transfer the server or I refuse to work with you. To which this IP offered me that he would write a receipt with a seal in the style that I am such and such, I confirm that all installed unlicensed software was installed personally by me and only I bear all responsibility for it (the text said that I can come up with it myself) . Well, I also want to retroactively renegotiate the contract, enter that I only serve the network and hardware of computers, I have nothing to do with software. The question is, will the receipt remove responsibility from me or is it a silly letter? And if it helps, what to write correctly in it? that I am such and such, I confirm that all installed unlicensed software is installed personally by me and only I bear all responsibility for it (the text said that I can come up with it myself). Well, I also want to retroactively renegotiate the contract, enter that I only serve the network and hardware of computers, I have nothing to do with software.

“Guys, I work in an illegal brothel. Will I be held responsible for helping run a brothel if I'm just taking clients there? The owner gave a receipt that I don’t want girls.”
Got the subtle analogy?

@megaxaser

And if, by your analogy, the owner writes in the receipt that he also drives customers?) And I came to fix the light bulb, for example.

This receipt will very well help the prosecution to prove that you knew that the program was unlicensed, but continued to use it :) It will also prove the fact that there is a group - and they give more for the group :)

Didn't find what you were looking for?
