On the topic of cracked versions: I thought we were working within the framework of the law. If not, it's true, we have a world of options such as "Hold the developer at gunpoint and force him to keep working on it." I'm not sure very many people would want their software infrastructure based on law-breaking, though.

As for switching software: That puts us roughly in the same place we are when SaaS companies go under.

So, using a cracked version of a software that you have bought a license for but that the vendor does not allow you to use anymore anyway is roughly equivalent to holding a developer at gunpoint?

And no, if(!) you still have a full copy of your data in an open format, that's a much better starting point for switching to different software.

Or you could switch (legally) now and not have to worry about it in the future. Operations in general is about risk management, I won't tell you what to do, I'm just saying there actually are options.
