MS will never audit a tiny company who isn't registered with them for
volume licensing. As long as you make a best effort to be legit (i.e.
buying a legit unused server with legit Server licenses and CALs),
you'll be fine.

Yes, the worst thing you can do is pay online for pirated or shady
licenses. I would only buy physical boxes/license COAs from real
Canadian companies, never digital-only stuff from online-only fly by
nighters.
