What does a one-letter department check when trying to catch a company using pirated software?

Question

Windows

Here, let's imagine, a commission from this very department comes to us. What will they immediately check? Stickers on system units and documents confirming the purchase of licenses? How do they check server licensing, for example, if everything revolves on the server core in virtual machines? Do they carry a "specialist" with them who will count virtual machines? And, again, what about Linux? Print out the text of the GPL and poke them in the face or what?
Long story short, tell me all about the "K" round-up.

Answer 1

Stickers, documents, if everything is there, they leave (for the first time). If there are no stickers, they really check the documents, check the equipment, if Linux is digging for mp3 lame, the presence of mp3 files, videos, etc., if Linux is everywhere, and there is nowhere to get to the bottom - they check the servers, seize it, and off we go, the GPL text for them is like criminal code, looking for flaws. As a rule, there are two specialists, one of them is UNIX, and sometimes very intelligent. About virtual machines in general, everything is complicated here. They check the licenses for the host machine, for virtual machines, they can take it for "examination". If the PC or server section is encrypted, they can take it "until the circumstances are clarified", then an "accidental" shot in the hard drive basket and they say "oh, it's so accidental, we will compensate for the damage to the equipment." In general, the situation is not pleasant, and it would be better if it did not exist. Oh and yes

and there are no sensible specialists.
but at the expense of getting to the bottom - if they need to fulfill the plan - they will find something to get to the bottom of
