I think asset inventory is the biggest challenge.

Software license agreements seem less challenging compared to the others, but I guess it depends on how well they've managed their licenses over the years.

I remember a practice question where access to logs was highlighted as a key issue. It makes sense that it could be a challenge here too.

I'm not sure, but access to logs could also be tough if they haven't set up proper logging practices.

I think the asset inventory might be the most challenging since they haven't tracked their resources before. It could be a mess.
