What are the advantages of a Windows license key?

The number of "pirated" copies of the Windows operating system in Russia is very large. Why do we need this notorious license key, which from the pirate "axis" will make the license, and what is the difference between legal and illegal systems?

To begin with, the operating system is the soul of the computer. It is thanks to it that we can work with our devices. When installing an illegal copy of Windows, we put our machine in danger. Nobody wants to pour bad oil or fuel into their car. In fact, the license key for Windows XP and is analogous to the fuel in the car, only for the computer.

The Windows program itself is delivered free of charge and is available for download on the global network, but in order to activate it, you need a license key. A legal copy of the operating system is automatically updated. And updates are downloaded from the official Microsoft website and are safe for the computer. Unlicensed OS either does not update at all, or can download additional software from the "left" sources, which can not only harm your computer, but also steal personal data.

Microsoft provides its users with free anti-virus software. Microsoft Security Essentials is an excellent product created by the best programmers of the largest company. This antivirus provides the workstation with reliable protection against a variety of malicious programs.

Also, users who installed the Windows 7 license key are provided with free technical support. From any phone, you can call 8-800-200-8001 and get advice from Microsoft specialists.

The license key provides the computer with two more means of protection against hacking and hacker attacks. Windows Firewall monitors the entire flow of data coming to the computer from the WAN. A "Protector" Microsoft closely follows all the programs that are installed on the computer, and makes it impossible for spyware penetration.

A copy of Windows, activated through a license key, has 100% functionality. The user has access to a full set of technical documentation and manuals, downloading them from official sites. A legal copy works an order of magnitude faster than a pirated copy. If bugs appear in the program, they are instantly eliminated through the error collection and update center. Therefore, the licensed OS not only works faster, but also more reliable. Such a product does not "fly off" suddenly, taking with itself all the data.

Using an illegal copy of Windows is illegal. Firms or users who have unlicensed software installed on their working machines may be held administratively liable for copyright infringement. Computers will be sealed and seized, and a large fine will be imposed on the organization. This will not only reduce the company's rating, but also completely paralyze its activities. According to a study conducted by Group-IB, about a third of illegal copies of Windows are used to steal personal data. At best, this can lead to the sending of spam from your account, and at worst - to large financial losses due to the theft of financial activity data.
