Microsoft SPLA reporting must be completed every month and within the time specified by your SPLA Distributor. This is a commitment you made when you accepted your SPLA agreement. In paragraph 11, you declare that you will submit a monthly report to your SPLA reseller.
It is well understood that proper SPLA reporting can be both times - consuming process and demanding. Still, it is also critical since missing or late reporting can have serious implications.
One of the disadvantages is that failing to disclose the use in a report increases your chances of being audited. We recommend reading about SPLA inspections here if you want more information on this topic.
