You say a license costs a few thousand dollars. Is that kind of customer going to use cracked pirated software? Are those customers going to risk a data breach to save a few thousand dollars? I don't think it'll affect your business at all. If the cracked software gets downloaded a lot then maybe there's another mass market that will pay tens to hundreds of dollars for your software. If that happens then it might be worth releasing a new version of your product at a lower price point for those customers.
