Switching the PC off when it was updating in the background and now the application will never run again on that PC, but continue to hold a license that can only be revoked from the application itself. Running out of hard disk because it for some reason fails to update the application and is now busy downloading it again for attempt #73, of course without cleaning up anything because that only happens after a successful update. Blocking applications daily or weekly because of updates, and of course you urgently need them now.
