Identifying and Avoiding Counterfeit Software
Is it genuine or just a counterfeit? Often, the truth only becomes apparent at second glance. And with software from dubious back rooms, you realize far too late that the offer was just a fake. Perhaps also because you were blinded by particularly low prices. Yet this is already the first indication that something is not right.
Risks of Unlicensed Software in Germany
- In Germany alone, 22% of software in use is unlicensed.
- This represents a value of more than 1.4 billion euros.
- Every private user and every company must ensure that the software they use is properly licensed.
What may seem not very dramatic at first glance can have serious consequences for you and your IT. If you purchase counterfeit software licenses, you have not only wasted money but also expose yourself to danger, as you will not receive security updates for counterfeit licenses.
