If a user shares a file designed on an SSQ-licensed system with a legitimate vendor, client, or supplier, the embedded metadata flags the file as pirated. Companies like Dassault Systèmes and Siemens actively pursue copyright infringement claims. Organizations caught using tools like SolidSquad face: Note: The following is a technical topology overview
