They literally unlicense the product out from under you as part of windows update. You’re the one having to sue, unless you never connect your machine to the internet anyway.

Okay then pirate the software while the lawsuit carries out.

Or just pirate the software and let them sue you for pirating, which you will win since you have a license, even though the computer thinks you don't.
