If you used it... and you benefitted from it... and you could not have used it legally otherwise without paying for it... you have to pay for it to deactivate the antipiracy code.
If you stopped using it at stage 1, you still benefited from it to some degree and therefore it is immaterial if you finished it or not. You would need to pay for your copy of AM5 and whatever else you pirated and used and benefited from.
That said, you can do the 50% discount because you purchased AM6. AM5 was $298 IIRC, so you would need to contact our back end and purchase a legal copy at half price to deactivate the anti-piracy code.
In the meantime, obviously, stop pirating my stuff.
And maniac, the antipiracy script doesn't just give you an urge to pay for what you pirated. It also gets you to understand why it's necessary to pay for things, instead if pirating them. The program will work differently... until the AP code is turned off by undoing the piracy, which requires that you pay for what you pirated. But you don't have to pay twice; if you download a pirate copy and then buy a legal copy and delete your pirate copy, you're fine. And yes, you can still get the end goal result. But the program will work differently. It's not just an "Oh, I can ignore the antipiracy cause it's just telling me to pay for it," type thing. No, you really do need to pay for it and turn that code off for the program to work normally.
