Well, they've had someone in marketing rewrite the email, but we've been audited twice in the past few years.

My advice, do your own audit prior to installing and running their tool.  Uninstall *all* adesk software that is no longer in use, even if you haven't used it in years.  And it goes without saying, if you have anything installed that shouldn't be, get rid of it.

Good luck, I heard murmurs at a conference from a group of resellers that they are tightening up the home/office split for license keys. Maybe this is tied to that?

Based on what I've seen, probably not an audit.  But can't hurt to do an internal one anyways.
