Do cracked versions not phone home for anything?
Are they 100% sure it won't be discovered?

As for using a cracked version of software you already bought I have no problem with that - all power to your elbow!
I would also do that if a company went belly up without making the software work without special authorization.

I bought Komplete 8 for £60 (shop closure to be fair) and Komplete 11 upgrade for £120 on a hard drive. Some people are apparently prepared to pay that combined price on a single plugin!!!
Not likely to go to Ultimate. Multi versions of Ultimate really add up!
