Nobody likes being cheated

Almost half of the programs installed on the computers of the companies are illegal, that is, four out of ten companies use unlicensed software. Anyone can provide data to start an investigation process against a company for violating the intellectual property of the software on the piracy complaints page on the BSA website, (an organization that groups manufacturing companies software) with a simple confidential form.

Consequently, although the possibility of obtaining a very cheap original license is very striking, it should not be forgotten that it is a scam. For example, Windows is the most used operating system in the world, and also the most pirated in history. Because everyone uses it and almost nobody is willing to pay for the license, some users choose to use "activators" to convert a pirated system into an apparently legal one while others look for an intermediate point where they can use the system legally. , but without paying the high cost of the license. This is where resellers come in who have particular interests because they receive sales commissions that go from 10 to 35%, so they want to increase their sales to receive more profits.

Therefore, as manufacturers reward the best resellers, the first thing that must be confirmed before hiring a consultant for SAM, is that it is a person independent of any other company, as this will not have a conflict of interest between sell you services and make you save. Even in audits, both manufacturers and software resellers agree to periodic audits, which are usually costly interventions and are often developed with other objectives, such as obtaining new revenue, either by selling new products or by requiring the company to pay for new licenses.
