The last I heard was the owners avoided jail time only by way of a plea arrangement which included compensating the software company, a long probation period and paying very, very large fines. They seized every computer on site as well as backup media, told everyone to go home, locked all the doors and put up no admittance signs at every point of entrance. Local police showed up one morning with a Fed accompanying them. It happened to a local company a while back who pirated at least 6, possibly up to 10, seat of MC. It is definitely illegal to pirate software and you definitely run the risk of your business being forcefully shut down when you get pinched. I was so fuming at that point, not to mention the government subsidized material for mold building. They proudly stated that fact and were also proud they hadn't paid anything to get it. One site pointed out they had 50 seats each of NX and Creo. A few years ago we sent someone as a part of group to tour Chinese facilities.

NX clients and network license servers call home no secrets there but Chinese companies do it all the time. If you disagree I think you should try to pirate and re-sell Microsoft product and see how well that works out for you. They didn't write NX anyhow, what do they care ?Intellectual property has value and there is no mistaking that fact, there is no grey area period. Siemens wants to sell controls and CAT scanners and all kinds of real stuff. bits don't cost anything and copying them doesn't hurt the original. Define "stolen" "Copied" would be more accurate.

I have the PC running it backed up with RAID drives, recapped the PCB, and have a duplicate PC, so theoretically, unless the processor goes kaput, the NX version on the XP computer should be usable into the foreseeable future, and that PC NEVER gets connected to the internet.

Of course no support to install it (on XP), but i've done that multiple times, and still have all the original installation CD's. This is just to activate the version that I stopped paying maintenance at. I subsequently have fallen so enamored with NX CAD that I'll never go back to SolidWorks, even if they brought the prices way down.I checked a few years ago, and at that time they told me that I could get another node-locked license file for my old version of NX for $1000 (in case, for example, you need to install it on another computer).
I am sure it always will be, and it is absolutely worth the price premium of a few $k (IMHO, and I was a SolidWorks user for 14 years). The NX CAD side is more expensive than SolidWorks if you buy it as a standalone seat. So, if people are using stolen software, better not be sending files to anyone. One of their vendors in China was using pirated ProE, the files were flagged in their PDM system and a bunch of lawyers descended on the company. No one really figured out how they found out, whether it was a plant, or a file got back around from a vendor, etc.Īnother incident was a friend works for a medium sized tech company, they use ProE, with their PDM system (quite a few seats). They ended up agreeing on purchasing one seat + ongoing mantenance (a pretty fair resoloution).
Several months later, they get a letter from Siemens legal department saying they owe them about $40 K (two seats of NX + a year of maintenance for each) to avoid legal action. I have an acquaintance with a small company, one of the employees bought/downloaded a pirated version of NX off the internet somewhere.
Aside from the ethical aspect of using pirated (stolen) software, better be careful about the legal aspects of using it. Haven't managed to get it running yet tho. Have a unigraphics 16 somewhere, same price. I subsequently have fallen so enamored with NX CAD that I'll never go back to SolidWorks, even if they brought the prices way down. Given that SolidWorks wanted $4500 just to bring my 2017 seat up to maintenance (after I lapsed), I went with NX. Judging from my quotes from early this year, I basically paid $2k more for my NX CAD/CAM seat than what those guys wanted for standalone, comparable CAM. NX becomes a much better deal when you price out SolidWorks + a high-end CAM package like MasterCAM or Esprit. No cam nothing too fancy.The NX CAD side is more expensive than SolidWorks if you buy it as a standalone seat. The two places that quoted me were both above 10k. Can you please tell me where you are able to pay so little. I read a few times here that people are able to get a seat of nx for not much more than solidworks costs or at least under 10k.
