I own a license but the hdd is crapping out . Until i get a new hdd and install that i have to use a pirated one . I dont have over 200 bucks for a license thats the prices around here , thats like half what i paid for a new laptop with a license with it already , it would be way cheaper to get a new hdd , which i will when i can . I ' ve already checked , the license is not stored on the hdd . TLDR I just want a temporary solution so i can keep using my laptop till i get a new hdd . <| sep |> Is that Craig ' s brother ? <| sep |> It ' s possible to be socialist and democratic without being communist . If you understood the terms , you could combine them as you please without contradiction . With public roads and schools , social security , emergency response services , libraries . etc . The US already has socialism .
