Aaahhh fuck. Guess I'll have to either get an illegal version or find a method to jailbreak it next time I upgrade my pc. Unfortunately Linux is not an option.

Why not? I guarantee you would be surprised how great something like Linux Mint is.

I know and I've tried it but the software I need to run needs windows. Wine doesn't cut it.

I don't believe this should impact the pro or enterprise versions

The loophole is finding a nice Linux distro and settling down.
