The pir-cy of all kinds of programs is something that has accompanied the software industry practically since its inception. In one way or another this is something that has been with us for many years and from which millions of users have benefited.
How could it be otherwise, in parallel this type of actions have also greatly affected a good number of companies and developers . And it is that with all this we speak of an illicit use of a payment program without disbursing a single euro, which of course does not benefit its creators. At least in most cases, because as has been said for a long time, this is not always the case.
We tell you this because on many occasions throughout the years of software history , it has been commented that some creators benefit from all this. And it is a way like any other to promote their products in order to try to retain future customers of later versions of that same program , but already more protected. In other words, it is a way to give the application a try so that those who like it can buy it legally in the future. And the truth is that it is something that some have not gone bad at all.
But in these lines we want to focus on the use of two giants such as the Windows operating system, and the Office security suite. Both are two Microsoft software solutions that need no introduction to most users around the world.
At any moment they can stop working
In fact, they are one of the most used programs around the globe, although many also choose to use pira-ed versions of both. Both Windows and the Office suite have been hacked for many years, with the risks that this could entail.
If we have generic serial numbers that circulate on the Internet to activate both Office and Windows, they are used by many users. For this reason, at any time our copy of the software may stop working properly for a multitude of reasons. This can be a serious problem at any given time, as we may need this software urgently.
Exposed to security vulnerabilities
Also, if we use Office programs that are not properly registered, it may be the case that we do not receive the latest security updates. This could expose the computer as such and the most recent vulnerabilities discovered, posing a serious risk to our data in the future.
Feature limitation in Windows 10
The most recent Redmond operating system has many features of its own both in terms of functionality, security and appearance. Well, you have to know that some of these, for example those related to Windows customization, are not available if we do not have the product duly registered. This is something that can translate into a much lower user experience than what Microsoft expects us to experience when working with Windows 10 on a day-to-day basis.
Harmful or dangerous versions
Sometimes we find certain websites on the Internet that offer free versions of Windows or Office, and of course illegal. These sometimes even include traces of malware or spyware, among other types, that can damage computer data or simply spy on what we carry out on the PC .
Legal issues
And to finish we will tell you that using this type of pira-ed versions of Office or Windows, we can find legal problems of the most diverse nature. This is also something that becomes especially dangerous if these actions are carried out by companies that work with multiple teams .
