After so many changes they usually get pissy (not with legacy keys AFAIK)
I happen to know that stacksocial has a st Patrick's day sale running, licences for $30? I got one on fire sale for 19.99 and it's legit so I'm happy. No download links, just an activation code in plain text via email. Mine was from Retail King.

But why when I just need to report s change of hardware and they'll reactivate it?

Yknow... when I order from Aliexpress and they mark it as both a gift and office supplies even though it's a GPU cooler or 300GBP electronics item...
Yknow what that is?
A tax write off

not really..
it's import tax evasion, because they most likely hugely under-reported the value of the item to border control.
It's a joke...
Which I thought was obvious with the current ongoing discussion in the community (see WAN show - 15/03/24)

well yeah, i got the reference.. but this is a corporation actually breaking laws, and if one of the packages gets held at the border it's the customer that's on the hook for it, meanwhile they're providing unfair competition for local businesses.
the tax writeoff thing is funny and all, but unfortunately this crap actually leads to people misunderstanding how corporate taxes work in ways that actually harm honest businesses.
i also kinda feel like the whole "tax writeoff" sale is in rather poor taste.. but if linus wants to burn money to make a point that no one will understand, good for the people who got cheap shirts i suppose.

You don't get punished for it in the uk, they just charge you the tax if you are unlucky enough to get inspected

Really? Because it clearly says "BLDI CAEESE" here...
