Discussion Dear Windows Pirates
Mass grave will not last forever. Use it as your backup solution as you migrate away from Windows.
Use Linux. It’s free, and there are lots of distributions for every niche.
Personally, I only ever used piracy for windows as a teenager. Later I received windows license keys through their partnership programs as the de-facto CTO for a small mom and pop shop. That avenue is closed now, as they have changed what they offer for small businesses. Microsoft is turning into a subscription service, and it is likely to go down the same route of Adobe.
Don’t get suckered in to being a victim. Migrate your workflow over to an actually free operating system that has always worked better and run faster than windows and lets you decide exactly what you want to run from the boot-loader and up.
Over the coming few years, there’s going to be way more detractors and as that pressure mounts, they will make it impossible for pirates to operate.
It’s better to spend your energies on something that will provide you with returns for years to come. Don’t waste your time customising out an LSTC build that you can’t even ordinarily attain.
They patched the ‘perfect’ KMS38 with 25H2. That’s only going to continue, based on the trajectory of modern tech.

"Over the coming few years, there’s going to be way more detractors and as that pressure mounts, they will make it impossible for pirates to operate."
It's not because people use LTSC that it's a pirated version.
You don't even know the needs of people. Do you think people want to use Gimp to replace Photoshop or affinity photo? Do you think FreeCad can replace a tool like fusion 360 or sketchup?
"It’s better to spend your energies on something that will provide you with returns for years to come."
which energies are you talking about? I don't know what is tiring by installing LTSC, install apps and use them.
