Cheap or “free” software from unofficial sources is a false economy. It carries legal, security and reliability risks that dwarf any saving. Here is why genuine licences matter.
| Risk | Unofficial software | Genuine licences |
|---|---|---|
| Malware | High | None from source |
| Updates & support | None | Included |
| Legal exposure | High | None |
| Reliability | Unpredictable | Assured |
Key takeaways
- Unofficial software often hides malware.
- Genuine licences include updates and support.
- The saving is never worth the risk.
