>I would like to get some perspectives from those that deal with software licenses, from any industry, including Federal government. I am a Records Manager with the Dept. of Veteran Affairs and have discovered that software licenses are not on our Records Schedule. I am submitting the issue to NARA for inclusion and need to recommend a retention period. Any suggestions? Thank you - Dawn >
