  I remember Microsoft revoking my license keys for a 2011 Office Suite disk which were supposed to be a one-time purchase. Since then I gave them the middle finger and installed pirated copies on every single family member’s device.

  They could have had a loyal lifetime customer but broke my trust and now they have a full family of non-customers.
