I wanted to try out Serato Sample's new stem separation tool added in 2.0 so I downloaded a crack to see if it was worthwhile.

Only now a week later do I remember I purchased the old version on sale and think to check if it's a free upgrade.

Now I can't decide if I want to bother uninstalling and installing my legitimate copy

I bought starsector but I have no idea what my actual key is anymore so I always just use the key from SsethTzeentach's video on it. So it's technically piracy but from what I've heard the Starsector dev doesn't care that people just use that key because that video and the key being released publicly made their sales go way up anyways. They're one of the few devs that realizes that piracy doesn't actually hurt their sales.
