- Allstate accuses Broadcom of initiating a 'haphazard' audit in response to Allstate's decision to end contracts with VMware and CA Technologies.
- The lawsuit, filed by VMware in December 2025, alleges Allstate failed to comply with license audits required by their contract.
- Allstate claims the audit was motivated by their plan to migrate away from VMware post-Broadcom's acquisition, joining other large companies like T-Mobile and Tesco.
- VMware's complaint states Allstate received an audit notice in March 2025 but withheld materials despite communication attempts, leading to legal action.
- Broadcom declined to comment on the allegations, while the relationship between Allstate and Broadcom has reportedly been strained for some time.
