How Does Piracy Affect SDS/2 Users?
Design Data continues to invest millions of dollars in software development to benefit our users. When you purchase SDS/2 and pay software support fees, you are helping us to continually enhance SDS/2. Those using pirated software are stealing the very product that you are helping us to develop. In addition, the time and money spent finding these companies and prosecuting them is not utilized on development. Essentially, these people are cheapening your investment. Once these companies begin using their stolen versions of SDS/2, they become your competitor. They may be bidding on the same jobs and winning them because they can undercut your bid. Not only do they de-value your investment, but more importantly, by using these vendors you might be putting yourself at legal risk. Knowingly working with vendors using illegal SDS/2 software makes you liable. It is even possible to be held liable in some cases when you are unknowingly working with vendors using stolen software.
