Software piracy—that is, the unauthorized possession, use, or distribution of software—has serious negative impacts on the software industry.
It not only destroys jobs but also threatens businesses, as using pirated software can lead to security risks, data loss, or incompatibility, which can be highly dangerous in a production environment.
Market research has revealed that some products in the TECHNODAT portfolio have been used without official authorization or outside the conditions of the existing official license (for example, cross-border license use or using demo licenses in a production environment).
Such use is considered a violation of the law, and any illegal user can be held liable under both civil and criminal law.
TECHNODAT actively protects its assets and combats software piracy through its Anti-Piracy and Compliance Program, which aims to prevent piracy incidents and, if necessary, bring unauthorized users into compliance.
We value the reputation of our product portfolio and believe that everyone plays a key role in the fight against piracy.
Any illegal activity also harms legitimate businesses, as illegal competitors gain an unfair advantage by running their operations on pirated licenses.
A fully legitimate and compliant installation base is the only way to ensure security, compatibility, proper access to our support services, and fair competition.
If you become aware of any suspicious activity, please report it to your local Dassault Systèmes contact or send the information to licence(@)technodat.eu.
Please note that all information provided to TECHNODAT will be treated with strict confidentiality, if requested.
As part of its Anti-Piracy and Compliance Program, TECHNODAT collects data related to the unauthorized use of its software or the software of its affiliated companies, including personal data (such as connection logs).
By using the software without authorization, the user acknowledges and agrees that this data may be collected, shared, and used for the purpose of fighting software piracy.
We welcome any feedback on the program and how it can support your future business needs.
