At present, software is one of the most important assets in a company. With the growth of a company, creating an increasing demand for the need for software, illegal software copies and sharing of single user licenses may quickly become an accepted practice. Illegal software usage and the use of pirated copies may even spread without your knowledge. If you do not keep an eye on these practices,the illegal usage of software may spread rapidly within your company. Illegal software, for which you are responsible !




Pirated software, including downloaded versions from the Internet, may seriously affect the security of your network. They are not equipped with all the security-related program components that original software contains. This makes your business vulnerable to virus attacks. The system your business depends on, do not receive the required updates, patches and important technical support.
Not only in security matters the consequences for your company may be serious, there is also the threat of legal ramnification. Commercial copyright infringements are now subject to heavy financial punishments,and can, in severe cases, even result in imprisonment.
The usage of illegal software is often not the result of criminal intent, but the result of negligence in IT license management.
