Since ZKTime.Net manages sensitive employee data (names, IDs, and attendance logs), a compromised version could expose this information to hackers. System Instability:

If an audit finds unlicensed software on company computers, you could face fines from software piracy watchdog groups (BSA, FAST) or even lawsuits from ZKTeco. In many jurisdictions, business owners are legally responsible for any unlicensed software on their network.

ZKTeco and authorized resellers provide no assistance to users of cracked software. If you encounter a configuration error or device compatibility issue, you are entirely on your own.

These lack some ZKTeco device integration but can work with basic CSV imports.
