What to do if the company does not accept buying windows and office?

Question

System administration

I’m constantly not satisfied when I have to activate windows and office through a crack, I don’t know at all who and for what purposes they make them, and what happens when you activate it (crack), but I doubt that they are always done for the good.
Who has any solutions or experience? I haven’t talked to the authorities yet (but I don’t think that the young company will allocate up to 100 licenses)
PS switching to linux is not appropriate

Answer 1

quit.

Answer 2

A memo (in 2 copies) addressed to the director, which informs about the risks of using non-personal software. It relieves you of responsibility. If they sign, then you can continue to work there, if not, then it’s better to look for something safer =)

Answer 3

You have two options
- 1) Install the software - with all the ensuing consequences, that is, responsibility before the law, and a good salary.
2) Refuse to install - with all the ensuing consequences, i.e. no problems with the law, and loss of work.
You choose.
Who but you knows what is more profitable and more important for you in your situation.
If humanly - put, but ask for such a salary so that it would not be a shame to sit.

Answer 4

the corporate variant of windows does not approach? like there are some cheaper win options for business.

Answer 5

1 They quit, the chances that during the test you will be made extreme are quite high.
2 If you immensely trust the authorities and are sure that you will not be thrown, then the option is to purchase licenses in installments, for example, every month 10% of what is needed.
3 If they don’t want to buy any, then we look at point 1

Answer 6

From a legal point of view, only paper (memo, statement, petitions) can shift responsibility from the head of IT (or system administrator) to the director. In addition, by signing such a document, the head of the company begins to understand responsibility more clearly. The main thing is to correctly draw up documents and do not forget to indicate the articles of the Criminal Code that this violation pursues.

Answer 7

Has anyone already encountered such cases in life when someone was taken somewhere because of such things?

Answer 8

The company of the company is different. Let's say the question: "How is it customary in your company to go to court?"
1. The owner of the company proudly covers everyone with a fat wallet.
2. The director swears and swears that he activated all the Windows personally, having made his way past the guard at night.
3. The team decides: "We all sit together as an organized gang of wind hackers."
4. Everyone points a finger at the “computer engineer”: “He did something there, but we don’t understand anything at all,” and the director shakes papers in which hundreds of tons of greenery are allocated for licenses: “This bastard is us, honest millionaires cheated."
Here, depending on this, act.

Answer 9

Move to work in the Crimea!
USA didn't recognize us and licensing doesn't work ;)
That's why the Free Economic Zone works!
