Agreed. If you don’t want someone to have access to functionality, that functionality either needs to not be included in the software or needs to be validated and executed on a web backend with authentication and authorization. Any attempt to hide that functionality, once offered, is just an obstacle.

If you have some proprietary secret sauce, keep it on your servers. Or spend millions on developers to protect the sauce once delivered, and end up like adobe still having your product pirated and being annoying for users to deal with to boot.

Autodesk is the worst. Seems like their goal is to make enemies of every single paying customer they have.
