As of May 1, businesses have had a 60-day window within which to check software is legal -- with the BSAA pledging that it won't take action against organisations that came forward to clean up their acts before 30 June.
To date, 600 companies have registered to take part in the ceasefire, 1500 businesses have called the software truce hotline and 1200 email enquires have been received, the BSAA claims.
"We normally get about 80 phone calls a week," BSAA chairman Jim Macnamara told ZDNet. "But we've been averaging about 300 calls a week during the truce."
The truce reached peak fever late in May when the BSAA hotline received 700 phone calls in one week from local businesses.
"That's a pretty significant response," Macnamara added.
The BSAA anticipates 800-900 companies will register in total during the course of its campaign.
A wide range of companies have come forward, including Top 500 companies, two Australian government departments and a great many one or two person businesses, according to the BSAA.
"After June 30, all bets are off and the software companies will take action against anyone reported with illegal copies of their software," Macnamara said.
