How to ensure that my software is a genuine Wilcom product
The most common way for illegal Wilcom software to be distributed is when illegal copies are made and distributed in packaging that replicates the genuine Wilcom packaging. Counterfeit registration cards with unauthorised serial numbers are often included in these packages.
In order to be certain about the authenticity of your Wilcom products, you should always buy from a reputable, authorised seller. A list of these authorised sellers is available on our website: https://wilcom.com/distributors
If you are, or believe you are, in possession of pirated Wilcom software, we urge you to replace the pirated copies with genuine Wilcom software right away.
If you are still unsure about whether your Wilcom software is a genuine article, contact support@wilcom.com for clarification at any time.
