Imagine paying money for software designed to sabotage your business if you miss a license payment.

i am thinking this issue description is implying that EVERYONE using the windows build image was broken. MS probably had a hard coded license in the build image which expired. idk, could be reading it wrong

Your business also relies on licenses I bet.

Uh... what do you think we do when a client doesn't pay us for a while? We yank their access. That's how services work, you get a few warnings that you really need to pay or you'll lose access and then, well, you lose access.
