Allstate Insurance Company has accused Broadcom of issuing audits in response to its decision to terminate business relationships with VMware and CA Technologies. The dispute stems from a lawsuit filed by VMware in December 2025, in which Broadcom alleges that Allstate failed to comply with contractual license audit requirements.
In a June 12 filing, Allstate contended that Broadcom initiated audits after learning of the company’s intention not to renew its contracts. According to court documents, Allstate stated that VMware issued a formal audit notice in March 2025. Allstate acknowledged receipt of audit materials on May 7, 2025, but the companies claim the other side failed to cooperate fully on the audit process. In September 2025, Allstate informed VMware’s consultant that it had removed VMware from all devices, and followed up in October stating that all VMware instances had been terminated and removed from its environment.
Allstate’s position differs from Broadcom’s characterization of events. The insurance company maintains that it substantially and in good faith complied with audit and reporting requirements under its contracts with VMware. Allstate further claimed that Broadcom initiated four separate audits simultaneously and unreasonably after learning of the contract non-renewal decision.
Broadcom has filed a separate case against Allstate under CA Technologies, alleging copyright infringement and breach of contract related to the sale of Allstate’s Employer Voluntary Benefits business and associated Symantec products to StanCorp Financial Group. The parties have until May 17, 2027, to file dispositive motions in both cases. Allstate joins a growing number of enterprise customers, including T-Mobile, Tesco, and Western Union, that have migrated or plan to migrate away from VMware following Broadcom’s acquisition.
