Home: Avoid Software Piracy
Licensing one of our products means you purchase the right to use the software
on a single computer. When you purchase one of Host The Best products you
will recieve a license by email.
Do not install single user license on 2 or more computers
Do not share your serial number with others
You may install a copy of the software and register it with the same serial
number only if you own a laptop and desktop computers and use one of them
as backup machine.
Avoid "Crack Sites"
Piracy is the illegal distribution of the software, for example when you
put copies on other machines or pass our software along to colleagues.
Do not install or use serial numbers found at non-Host The Best web site.
Crackers may include malicious or harmful code into apparently harmless
programs and offer them as free "cracked software", "crackz", "patches"
or "cracked serial numbers". By downloading and using illegal materials
from "Crack Sites" you have no guarantee that it's virus-free. Scanning
with anti-virus program does not help, "cracks" can include unknown "Trojan
horse" that will install on your computer. Like its legendary namesake the
"Trojan horse" conceals a destructive purpose: while running, such a program
may destroy files or create a "back door" entry point that enables an intruder
to access your system. "Back door" allows remote intruder to monitor activity
of your PC while you are online, steal private data like credit card numbers,
contents of your emails, etc.
Keep your serial number secret
Once you have purchased the license, your serial number can get stolen
and used by other individuals to install unlicensed copies of the software.
Host The Best keeps track of all serial numbers and who they licensed to.
Do not install unlicensed copies
Depending on the license you have purchased SEAT License entitles you
to install and use the program on SINGLE computer only and SITE License
entitles you to use the program on UNLIMITED number of computers at SINGLE
facility. Installing extra copies of the software using single SEAT license
is illegal. You need to purchase additional SEAT licenses. Some license
agreements allow one backup copy of software to be made, provided the backup
copy is not installed or used on any computer. It's not allowed for multiple
copies to be made, and in no event can a backup copy be sold.
Piracy stifles innovation. The money spent to combat software piracy,
and the revenues lost to piracy, could be spent on research and development.
Everyone suffers from the acts of a few.
