 | View Full Version : are dedicated servers audited a lot? Tetraboy 07-27-2002, 05:08 PM By posting this in this forum you may already be caught. Piracy is bad. driverdave 07-27-2002, 05:22 PM Hahahahaha, this is funny. Well, if it's your server, and no one else has root, who's going to "audit" it? It may "phone home". That would alert someone that it's running on your IP, and they may go after the ISP to get you shut down. I've heard of that. Why be so cheap? Why not buy it? phantasywork 07-27-2002, 05:23 PM Originally posted by interactive6 I want to install an illegal copy of SQL Server 2000 Enterprise on my dedicated host. Its in a large data center in Tampa. Does anyone know if they audit these often? Is there a good possiblity I will get caught? .John Tell me he didn't just say that :eek: interactive6 07-27-2002, 05:25 PM I plan on buying it. I'm just a little tapped at the moment. I hope no one's reading this... HI BILL. ckpeter 07-27-2002, 05:28 PM You are in trouble, my friend. I have called Bill Gates, and he said he is after you now. Before Bill get to you, you should consider the fact that hosting your client's database on illegal software put them at risk, and consequently your own business and reputation. Actually, by even posting, you have already placed your business at rist. Bottomline: don't even think about it, it's just not worth it. Peter Tetraboy 07-27-2002, 05:32 PM Yah. Watch out for those US Marshalls. ;-) KDAWebServices 07-27-2002, 07:06 PM Oh man, are people really this daft? It's liek $20,000 for a license for it, so if you're even considering it, you can't be, "little tapped at the moment" as if you've raised most of the money surely you can raise the rest of it. FDrive 07-27-2002, 07:14 PM To answer your question, as least as far as I understand it, no, dedicated servers are not "audited a lot." But does that make stealing OK? neil 07-28-2002, 01:12 AM It can't be $20 K.. if it is - we're getting one hell of a deal at work (volume discount maybe) smidwap 07-28-2002, 01:57 AM Bill's busy getting his shoes polished. He doesn't have time to go searching for you :D . Even though I doubt you should have told the entire WHT community this, I bet you're not the only one doing this. Two wrongs don't make a right :rolleyes: . GlideTech 07-28-2002, 03:54 AM I say go for it :agree: :D reseller 07-28-2002, 04:45 AM It doesn't cost anywhere near $20K. The actual software itself is quite cheap, it's the licenses that make you dig deep to get. But um, you want to run a "professional" business using illegal software? Yeah good luck with that KDAWebServices 07-28-2002, 07:01 AM Yes, I meant for a single CPU license for Enterprise, as for web hosting the CAL model doesn't work.

I have seen it all - Right here at WHT - Thank you for brightening my day :D :D reseller 07-28-2002, 09:21 AM Originally posted by KDAWebServices Yes, I meant for a single CPU license for Enterprise, as for web hosting the CAL model doesn't work.
