You weren't going to buy it anyway. No-one cares about you. Pirate it if you like. Take your warezed copy of Office Home Edition and be blessed, no-one is going to miss your 120 bucks.
An organisation with maybe 100,000 users each paying a per-seat licence? Yeah, that's the sale they want. Not your one-off copy.
- johnisgood 1y agoYup, they will care when a huge % of people start doing it.
- ErroneousBosh 1y agoNot really, no. No-one buys Windows. No-one buys Office. It's a thing that comes bundled with a computer, or that you "acquire" if you need it. It's only interesting if Barclays are pirating Windows on a massive scale. Oh shit did I say the name out loud?
- johnisgood 1y agoDo companies really not buy licenses?
- ErroneousBosh 1y agoReputable ones do.
- thesh4d0w 1y agoIf so they would have kicked this off github - https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts 157k stars
