Lots of these have been going on for a while already. I think I need
to emphasize on this as a user and also as a seller. I also wish to use
the latest Windows 10 on my home PC but alas, I'm still using Windows 7
Home. I use Google Docs and Sheets for my Word and Spreadsheet work. Of
course, I can't be compared with corporate businesses where they need to
use the latest application where everyone uses to ease their workflow.
This licensing products are important especially if you're in a company or doing a business either Business to Business or Business to Consumer. This is to let anyone know that your company is legit and trustworthy.
We used to have a tendency to go for pirated software. Why? Because it is cheaper. Especially for home users, they do not thing that its a wrong thing to buy pirated software. But we have to think that how did the pirated software come about? Pirated software are cheaper and to some, they might think that they do not have anything important to hide in their personal computer. But we actually do. We use our own internet line for online transactions, purchasing online, online banking, we even store important photos in our personal computers. And these information can be leaked out thru having pirated software.
To understand the clear picture of how pirated software come about, here is a link that defines the definition of Pirated Software. https://www.techopedia.com/definition/9451/software-pirate
In simple terms, hackers programs a license software until the software does not require a key to open or use the software. However, the hidden secret is that if the hacker is able to open up a licensed software, won't the hacker have a hidden key or back-door that they can also access the broken software? Think about it. You as a consumer is using a pirated software at home. And nowadays everything is connected via the internet. Don't you think the hacker can also access your computer via internet with the software that is already broken by the key (license)? You might think that "I'm only an ordinary and no one famous for them to rob me of my personal belongings". But imagine if the hackers were to steal just a cent each day or each time you log on to the internet. Not only stealing our money but also stealing our personal data.
And using pirated software in a business.. think of the consequences....
The link on this post practically explains everything. And I have seen
some companies purchasing them off the online market place.
