Today Microsoft ambush to my office to inspect pirated Windows 10 activation.

All of my computer is Windows 10 Home that I bought.

They said Windows 10 Home is not allowed in Business Environment, also they offer discount summons if I bought Windows 10 Pro from them.

Which part of EULA mention Windows Home edition is illegal use in Business?

Unless you can prove the computer is not used for commercial purpose the law on their side. I think the raid probably done by Business Software Alliance (BSA) with MS observer and KPDNKK. Unfortunately govt recently seem to be doing a lot of these operations to squeeze money when economy already bad.

i think number of employees don't matter. The industry you are in matters. as you said IT field, makes it natural to spot check. Sometimes engineering firm (autocad), accounting (myob, sql) get checks too. It really depends on what industry you are in and the timing.
