From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nah, they'll send a package to a Microsoft server that'll then respond with the keybind and open the program
But you can only press it five times before you have to buy a license to active it.
Also, if you want to deactivate it you'll need to purchase a separate license.
If neither license is purchased, it presents a nag screen each time. 😂
What, fuck licenses, we're doing subscriptions here. With multiple tiers, first one just reduces the charge per activation, and the ones after that give you X "free" uses per 12 hours.
