Back when I was in the Army… we definitely had some means to tactically acquire Windows licenses.

I worked IT in the Army and whenever they asked me how I did it, I told them to not worry about it.

We also never paid for winrar. So if you wonder where that huge budget goes to, it is not to Windows Licenses or Winrar.

We had a bunch of unlicensed windows installs in the military too. They don’t care

I’m working at a university, and hoo boy, did we use a lot of cracked shit. And funniest thing is that half of that shit can be acquired legally for free as part of education licensing.

I’m happy to be the part of reason why in recent years my department has been shifting towards FOSS alternatives. Like yeah, it’s morally correct to pirate from the likes of Adobe or Microsoft, but I’m not a fan of people even simply making a habit of using software from aforementioned companies.
