And yet, they’ve made it much more difficult to pirate their suite now… I disagree with anyone who thinks Adobe, Microsoft, or any other software vendor made pirating easy bec it would boost long term sales. 100% of executives are focused on this quarter and nothing else. Bad licensing enforcement was just a by-product of focus, and resources. As we see pirating O365 is impossible, pirating the offline Office suite is doable but much harder than it once was and usually requires buying a volume key instead of downloading a crack. I know pirating Adobe is technically possible but from what I’ve seen requires a lot more work and isn’t foolproof like it once was (download Adobe, click crack on crack software). In general good software licensing frameworks have been commoditized and it’s pretty easy to add to your product. Idk anyone who would look at that and think rolling their own broken solution is better bec it could lead to better long term sales.
