can i update the pirated software ?

Question

actuall i prefer genuine products , i want to use genuine products ,, my os is genuine

when i bought my system , its pre installed with msoffice , i thought its genuine and full version , but its actually a trial version installed by my manufacturer

but i see mostly everyone using pirated softwares , as for as places i went ,, most of the home users use genuine copies but not genuine

k my question is how come the vendor not ablt to trace this ?? because if i bought a genuine ms office cd for pc , i am given a serial key .. and if someone uses same key , he also uses the product and so on... many people using same product with same serial keys ..

this s wat happening ,, if i install a program downloaded from net with serial key ,, can i update it without any problem

hey i m just end user , i dont know much about these software , piracy etc.,

simply i m asking is can i update a installed program which is a pirated copy without any problem

and whats the best site to download softwares with serial key

Answer 1

The main problem with pirated software is that you dont get full support.. Support I meant proper updates. Since these softwares tend to have security holes which actually get patched through updates, they are only fully available for genuine softwares.



But in case you want to "really" use a pirated software avoid updating it because they tend to become unstable or even get disabled.



Use an alternative for Ms office like Open office..



Yes, there is a possibility of someone suing you in case you use that pirated software for business...



Yes, again for the case of your system developing problems in the long run due to what I previously mentioned as security holes.



For serial key restrictions, maybe yeah.. Original softwares have that restriction..

That's odd I've never known anyone who pirates software you do know its stealing. The law changed this year and your ISP is being forced to help put a stop to it. They can turn off your service, have you blackballed from the internet nust for downloading any copyrighted material, like progdams, music,videos. And the company's can sue you, press theft charges against you and have you thrown in jail.

Answer 3

No. and you may by no skill play pirated video games till you're in a posisian the place you are able to no longer get unique ones. while you're only being to cheep to purchase the video games, shame on you for stealing hundeds of dollers from Nintendo.

Answer 4

No, dont update. The software will most likely stop working.

Answer 5

yeah,you can update the pirated software,by using a pirated updater software!

Answer 6
