I don't know, I could imagine them being somewhat serious about the license/number of connections violation. Speaking from direct experience, I wouldn't underestimate the amount of bureaucracy internally that would come down on this like a ton of bricks. Like others have mentioned, his best bet is to get someone to champion his cause internally. It doesn't even necessarily have to be someone in their ITS department - it could be a faculty member, or even someone in administration. Hell, you might be able to get a job out of this.
