Should I remove torrented apps before repairs?

[jamesmells]

I have a few torrented applications (Final Cut Pro, Aperture and Photoshop), and need to send my mac back to apple to be repaired. Should I remove applications before I do?

I don't want to remove aperture the most, but it wasn't a torrent, just the demo with a different serial.


Thanks

I am going to close this thread because it is arguably a violation of Forum Rules, and I know you have already had a similar post deleted by a Moderator. While it is not a solicitation for information about cracks, it will lead to a discussion and off topic posts about stealing software.

Typically Apple is not concerned about what is on your HD and they have no interest in it. However, they may or may not wipe your HD based on the repair you need.

Your best bet is to always have a back up whenever you send your computer in for repair.

From the Forum Rules:

Do not post software serial numbers or keys or refer people to specific websites, software, or techniques whose purpose is to break or bypass software licensing methods, distribute cracks, or obtain or use commercial software or media in violation of its license and/or for copyright violation.
