Best And Fairest Software Piracy
Best And Fairest Software Piracy For Anyone To Get Started. You Don't Have to Meddle With Huge Downloads. With Multiple File Types - Supports 3. Understanding Software Piracy in Collectivistic. The near term best solution for software developers is to attempt to force the countries involved to enforce.
So far I think your idea is absolutely brilliant!! The only issue I can see is what happens if the whole machine crashes (i.e hard drive failure) and you then have to reinstall everything from the ground up? Obviously in such a case, you would not have gotten the opportunity to deactivate it first. So I guess in cases like that you still need to have the ability to perform repeated activations (without intervening deactivations), even though deactivation functionality does indeed seem to save the possible pain incurred due to repeated, legitimate installs and hardware upgrades.
But with that caveat, sounds like a great idea: Buy the software, acvtivate it and play with it.and just before you make a hardware upgrade or reformat, then you deactivate it. As you intimate though, the deactivate option would just be additional to the functionality we already have.
Sounds like a win-win situation to me. Please send your idea to Microsoft! With all due respect to the people here on this topic, you guys seem to me all too willing and ready to shoot yourselves in the foot! There is something you guys are overlooking with regards to all this anti-piracy protection.
What happens when they STOP SUPPORTING FSX?? I don't know what is involved with the new FSX program and it becoming deactivated after a certain number of installs, the way XP operates; I don't know any specifics, and I have never had to call MS as of yet to reactivate XP as I just don't experiment with those machines, if I upgrade then I'll experiment on the upgrades first with a Win 98SE hard drive, then when the upgrade is finally ready (perhaps after 5 to 10 major tweakings), that is when I'll plug the XP HD back in. But if FSX deactivates after a certain number of installs, what are you going to do when FSX is no longer supported? You think, they would never leave us hanging with this awesome program. But it happened to me with a famous older program no longer supported by MS. I called them, and two customer service people did not even recognize this famous software; finally the third customer service person at least recognized the software, and sent me to another person, who checked their inventory on that product and their systems said they still had one copy still in stock, which was probably actually an anomaly.
From his work with The Babys (even in their later, new wave guise), as a solo star, with the smoothed-out arena rock of Bad English and back to a solo singer again, Waite’s emphatic, clear-cut vocals are one of a kind. Essential tremors hands. People talk about the unique style and sound of singers like Steve Perry (Journey), although ultimately he wasn’t too difficult to clone. But can you think of another singer who sounds like John Waite?
Finally they told me that they do not support that product any more, AT ALL! They could not help me in any way! Fortunately for me, I had purchased about five licensed copies of that program, so I was able to figure out the problem on my own.
I think it behooves software companies to completely forget their old customers, because they make more money when they feel that they are in the position to prod these old customers into purchasing new replacement software, and also forcing them to purchase new upgraded hardware also to be able to run it. But what about fans of such software manufacturers who want to continue to explore the past, while also utilizing the recent past software and hardware, and also at the same time utilizing the latest cutting edge products? I just got through totally repairing, overhauling, and upgrading this 486 machine that I'm writing on. I like tinkering with such old technology, in addition to having midlevel hardware and software, and current software and hardware, and plan to build at least two or more computers entirely dedicated to FSX.
I hope to own five licensed copies of FS9, and five of FSX Deluxe also. So if FSX has a deactivation mechanism in it, and I am a legitimate, licensed many times over, user of FSX, and some year in the future I need to have MS reactivate my FSX (or activate it in the first place after installation for some products?), however they no longer support FSX, how am I going to activate it? After spending all that money? Are they expecting me to upgrade to the next flight sim and forget about the previous one? Do they have any idea how large and complex such a flight sim installation can become after years of addons? Or what if they go out of business? I have one great product from a company that was nice enough to not have any type of activation restriction, I still have the box it came in from the retail store, it looks brand new, but since that time that company does not support that product any more at all.

Apparently they are still around however their update link from the program is a dead link. But in that case, they were nice enough to not have any type of activation restriction at all.
Did you know that Apple was actually sued by irate Apple users because Apple refused to provide updated drivers for their recent old equipment? When customers upgraded to the newer Apple OS, their old hardware was left behind by the company because of no new drivers for those older machines.
A pro Apple user in my neighborhood says he has a perfectly fine Apple printer that just gathers dust because there's no driver for it. Apple users felt that that was very aggressive accelerated obsolesence, sued and won. Nobody dislikes pirates more than I do, however this situation is a little deceptive to customers, because the mfr, the authorities, even diplomats, are trying to fight piracy, and the customers are going ya ya #### pirates! Hi Darrell, That is very encouraging, while FSX (and XP) are supported, but my question is what happens when support is dropped? I had a question about a previous product of theirs which was no longer supported, and they would not, could not, help me in any way, AT ALL. After support is dropped, what happens when you install a new processor and your programs need to be reactivated again?
But there's no support for those products? It's been my experience that barring some miracle that product may very well be toast at that point. With FS9, users did not immediately start running FS9 to its' maximum potential, they improved their equipment over time until now many users have really stunning results. I think that MS should understand that hardware is going to have to be continually upgraded to reach a final maximum performance of FSX. After all they put all this effort into designing it, they should expect that we'll have to upgrade many times to reach the full potential of FSX. I certainly hope that there will be no problem in reactivating these programs while supported, because while they are supported, with FSX I will be starting out with absolutely PATHETIC hardware, possibly only 1.4 to 2.2 ghz processor, not sure where my next big video card is coming from, sometimes I get extremely lucky and I might be able to just max out the ram to 3 gb's.
I totally plan on eventually getting something like a quad core pc, or if I can a dual quad core. But along the way I enjoy tweaking my computers. It's really rewarding to successfully upgrade on my own. But when FSX or XP support is dropped, and I pop in just one more processor, is it likely that I'll be left high and dry? This is where I think that legitimate users are going to get the short end of the stick due to all these antipiracy measures built in.
I don't suppose MS will drop supporting FSX for some time into the FSNext era. After all, it is not uncommon to expect people would actually like to drop the old version themselves, when the new one is out. At least that's what happens all the time. To those who prefer vintage FS versions like fs98 even nowadays I am absolutely sure MS will make activation (or whatever) possible. A morale is there is hardly anything in the world which everybody finds OK. Everything can be dissasembled into good atoms and bad atoms and then some people choose to comment on the good ones while the others choose to comment on the bad ones.
Cheers, Mark.
