I don't find those two circumstances equivalent but I understand your meaning.

Parking in a bank parking lot when you aren't going into the bank. Apparently the bank thinks that you are casing the place to rob it and calls the police.

One time in Mass I had to present my card to a police officer because I parked in a bank parking lot and went across the street to do an inspection. Apparently they frown on that practice.

Depending on the OPs options, there is the potential to try and negotiate for more money. Might as well start learning this aspect of the business now. If they're not going to be willing to give you more then it may be time to move on.

I've never heard of anyone going to jail for lack of software licensing compliance before. 

The company is liable for for any violations relating to software licensing, there's no risk to you as far as I'm aware. Software violations like the type you've described tend to only get enforced if an angry employee or former employee reports them.  I found out about that EULA issue with...

They're going to want the information that meets the most stringent requirement. If in the case of Road Guy's example, CO wants every employer from HS on, that's what you'll need to provide. Getting employment verifications from the 9 employers I've had since college was a pain in the rear but...

At some point I should just part with my 8th edition since it's only really useful as a paper weight these days.
