Why is CompuApps asking customers to activate their software?
CompuApps has designed Product Activation as a simple way to verify the software license and thwart the spread of software piracy. People who use illegal software not only hurt themselves, they also contribute to a problem that cumulatively can hurt job creation locally and regionally in the software industry and related businesses. Software piracy is an enormous drain on the global economy, according to the 2000 BSA Software Piracy Report. The report estimates worldwide losses in 2000 due to software piracy at almost $12 billion. Software piracy also has a significant impact on the high-tech industry, resulting in lost jobs, decreased innovation and higher costs to consumers.
