VMware has filed a lawsuit against Siemens AG's US operations in the Delaware District Court, alleging the industrial giant used more VMware software than it properly licensed. The dispute emerged during Siemens' attempts to arrange extended support for certain products, where a list they provided reportedly included unlicensed VMware products. VMware claims Siemens insisted on the correctness of this list and threatened legal action if support wasn't provided. As the situation escalated, Siemens revised the list, which has added complexity to the ongoing legal battle between the two companies.
VMware's lawsuit against Siemens claims the industrial giant used more VMware software than licensed, provoking a contentious dispute over alleged unlicensed usage.
Siemens accused VMware of failing to deliver on support services, while VMware alleges that Siemens misrepresented the extent of its software use.
The legal dispute escalated when Siemens threatened to sue VMware for not providing support for products listed in a disputed inventory.
VMware states it initially offered support to Siemens "under protest" to avoid disrupting operations, despite the disputed nature of the license compliance.
