Question by Capie: How do you obtain legal copies of software?
I am doing this project for school where there is a situation in which a company does not have copies of the software they use. The developers use microsoft’s visual studio package and MS-Office. The managment and business staff uses Office, Intuit and custom SQL applications. They don’t have legal copies of any of the software. How do I get the legal copies for them? Thank you!

To get legal software you have to buy the license. You can buy any of the software you mentioned at any office store (such as Office Depot, Office Max, Staples, Microsoft themselves, Amazon, Tiget Direct). The list is endless.
My suggestion is that you have them purchase volume licenses. Volume licensing is much cheaper for a business because it’s based on volume purchasing…which is much cheaper than buying multiple single-user versions of the software.
Contact Microsoft directly and inquire about their volume licensing program.

Simply, they can’t. That is why they give you a keycode that is used to unlock the program.

What approach could software companies use to combat the problem apart from punitive measures, like pressuring the government to impose sanctions on transgressors?

How about sliding scale costs based on worth of the purchaser? Wow. Pepsi would have to pay a million, and I’d get it for a dime.
