In our work [18] we have already discussed scenarios for software updates to
reduce the level of piracy in government bodies where duration of product life cycle
applied as one of the selection criteria.
However, in situation when government bodies have insufficient funding the goal
to significantly reduce the software piracy became unattainable. Without decisive
administrative actions there are additional risks related to software usage: risk of
efficiency reduction and increase of number of vulnerabilities.
Special approach expected, which would help to efficiently use the limited
budgeted resources during the process of adequately responding to risks mentioned
above.
