Is there a way to know if a company is using one's number apart from asking
the employer?

I have not seen this in any of Cisco's documentation. My understanding
of the rules based on past emails (it's been a while) is that if your
CCIE number is being used by a Cisco partner for qualification requirements
and you leave, the old partner has six months to replace you without losing
their status, and the new partner can't use your number in their CCIE count
for some time (six months? a year?) unless the old partner "releases" it.

I have never seen anything from Cisco that addresses the issue of who
paid for the training and lab attempt(s). Some employment contracts may
cover that type of thing, if the employer wants to ensure that they don't
pay for your training only to have you jump ship, bit I don't think Cisco
wants to know or cares. They would be smart not to, as it would be very
likely to generate into a he-said-she-said type of thing.
