I don't think so - most organisations and employees don't actively try to violate licenses, but if the path of least resistance is "eh" then individual employees definitely aren't going to bother. I bet there are thousands of people using the free version of MSVC commercially for example.

Depending on what action you take with this, I'd say it has a pretty good chance of tipping people into emailing IT to get a license.
