    Yeah, you can pirate it 😂. Heck, I’ve never bought a single license in my life 😂.

    Seeiously though, I don’t think they seel it to individuals, only companies. I think you can buy a regular Enterprise license as an individual, but not an LTSC one.

    That to be said, my partner still uses that Windows version and it is definitely the right thing to use, if needing Windows.

    It’s the only thing I recommend using IF you just had to use Windows and there was no other way around the issue. In any other scenario, I recommend Linux with Wine.

      I’ve been using Linux since the 90’s so you’re preaching to the choir here :D Photoshop and Lightroom work quite badly with wine, so windows it is for my partner.

      Edit: you can buy a key from eBay, but it is a bit in the gray area…
