How can you obtain licensed software free of charge?

Licensed Software

Obtaining cracks, serials, and keygens for programs without paying for them is illegal and can get you into a lot of legal trouble. It's always best to pay for the software you want or to search for free software that is legal. If you have legally purchased the program - this includes lost or forgotten codes - you may want to contact the vendor's customer service or technical support for assistance.

WikiAnswers will not provide answers containing serial numbers, software cracks, or links to keygens.

WikiAnswers will also not provide cheat codes, or the like if they are against the games rules, terms of service or other applicable guidelines.
 

Downloading Roms

It is against this site's Terms of Use for any WikiAnswers user to provide or link to sites that host roms. Most roms are copyrighted, and cannot legally be downloaded. Even if the game is old and not sold anymore, the company still owns the rights to it, and can choose to release it again in another format like the Wii Virtual Console.
 

Torrents

There is no way to obtain the full version of any licensed software legally. You can obtain freeware legally from sites like YouTorrent.com, which only search for legal torrents.
