What are the disadvantages of a pirated Bitrix?

Question

1C-Bitrix

Hello.
It became interesting - as far as I know, Bitrix is ​​quite easy to hack, but then some other problems probably arise. Otherwise, it is not clear why buy it at all :) In addition to the lack of those. support, what other disadvantages does a hacked CMS have?

Answer 1

the main disadvantage is the inability to receive product updates, which are often satisfied.

Answer 2

The main disadvantage is that you get a black box - a system in which someone rummaged and did something. Who and what is unknown. There can be backdoors, unstable work, anything.
How do you reset the counter? Independently, having deobfuscated the kernel, sorted it out and made the necessary corrections?
If so, then there is a chance that somewhere deep in the core there is some other hidden check that will one day work and your site will suddenly stop working.
If you want to use some external tool, then there will be a black box problem.
Well, in both cases, you lose the opportunity to update the system and use the marketplace. Those. support, by the way, will be 90% available to you - no one checks the keys on the official forum, and even when contacting the support itself, too.

Otherwise, it is not clear why buy it at all

It is not clear why it should be hacked. Those who really need it can pay for it without any problems.
