Companies will only pay if they're forced to pay and are aware that they have to pay in the first place. That means you better have a nagging screen and better make it very clear that commercial usage requires a paid license.

For desktop software, I'd suggest to detect if the system has a proxy configured, that's a good hint whether it's a corporate computer.

Is true? Can you just run unlicensed tools at your work?

Many people can, and especially in smaller companies (but not only) its not unusual to see unlicensed software. A really well-known example is TeamViewer, who've been balancing the line between "don't break legitimate free users" and "catch companies using it"
