Romanian term or phrase: utilizarea de software nelicențiat corect.
I am confused about the use of "corect" here. The context reads:

"Vă reamintim faptul că riscurilor prezentate mai sus li se adaugă şi consecinţe de ordin legal - pedepsele aplicabile atât persoanelor fizice din conducerea companiilor, cât și persoanelor juridice pentru fapte de natură penală rezultate din utilizarea de software nelicențiat corect."

I realise that this phrase at the end of the paragraph is discussing the criminal acts associated with the use of unlicensed software, but I cannot figure out which noun "corect" is qualifying. For example, is it saying:

"correct use of unlicensed software"?

Or does it mean:

"use of unlicensed software correctly"?

Thank you.

„Corect licențiat” este o expresie destul de stângace, care se referă, de fapt, la englezescul „properly licensed”.
Sunt o mulțime de exemple:

Corect în română ar fi „fără a deține o licență corespunzătoare”, nu „incorect licențiat” - care poate induce ideea că este licențiat, dar într-un mod incorect.

use of incorrectly licensed software.


Explanation:
"corect" refers here to the unlicensed software.
I cannot say "use of correctly unlicensed software" - as it is a non-sense.

The idea is that a software was licensed by other means than the legal ones (cracking, hacking, etc.) and it was "made" to be/ seem genuine for the OS.

the use of incorrectly licensed software


Explanation:
In my opinion, this refers to the use of software that is not correctly licensed, i.e. either partial/invalid license or no license at all. It's meant to cover all cases that are not "correctly licensed software". It's a rather unfortunate wording in Romanian - "ne" is supposed to be a negative for "licențiat corect".

incorrectly licensed software


Explanation:
mai o precizare - din context, aproape sigur se refera la illegal sau bootleg software, nu la software 'nelicentiat corect'. de fapt, poti sa ai software cumparat legal si instalat incorect, dar fraza vorbeste despre pedepse penale, ceea ce inseamna ca software a fost obtinut ilegal.

It's an unfortunate way of expressing it, but IMHO it's referring to bootleg software, not one obtained legally.
