GO TO LEGAL OR FREE PROGRAMS!

Software is one of the most valuable technologies of the Information Age, which runs everything from PCs to the Internet. The term "software piracy" is the illegal copying of programs, counterfeiting and distributing of sotware. Software piracy can destroy computers and data. Software pirates not only steal from the companies that produce software, but the damage to users, by reducing funds for research and development of new software. Therefore, each software piracy, and even copy you make for a friend - is illegal.

PURCHASE A LICENSE

The fastest way to legalize software you are using is to purchase a license for the program. The license is an easy way to define as the right to use the software. However, licence is the only real evidence that we have legally purchased software package. Purchase a program or software package does not include the purchase of media (usually CD). The media is in this case only means of use, and what they actually pay for software manufacturer is the license to use the program.

LEGALIZATION

There are still many users of illegal license who are not enough informed about the importance of using legal software. In order to provide better information we suggest you visit the BSA website www.bsa.org where you can meet directly with the way the work of this organization. International Association of Business Software Alliance (BSA) welcomed the decision of our Ministry of Finance to tax inspectors around the Republic of Srpska as part of their regular audits verify the legality of all software companies. Penalties for legal persons go up to five years in prison, and fines are set in the range of 1000 to three thousand marks for companies and from 1000 to 2000 marks for responsible persons, subject to compensation of material damage from the copyright holder of up to three times amount of the usual fee for use of licenses. Mindful of the fact that many companies here have no information about the software they you use every day, and how the legalize of same, I give you the opportunity to the minimum amount of invested money, set your computer to the best possible way, you pay only those programs that you really indispensable and irreplaceable, and leave the rest to me. You only remains to calculate how much you really save money.

HOW? COMBINATION LEGAL AND FREE SOFTWARE

The first thing to do is to determine the actual number of computers - workstations that you need and to decide for an operating system that suits your needs. Reality of that is the most common Microsoft Windows, but this may not be the rule. You will quickly be convinced that the free operating systems like Linux and quite functional. I recommend Fedora. Experience shows that a majority of people prefer Microsoft Windows. There are already beginning to doubt it since there are different ways of licensing - you certainly did not matter whether you pay about 300 KM per computer. Yes, you understand - for each computer needs to pay for a license for the operating system. Please note that the license for the operating system is much cheaper than most popular Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint)
