The answer

It is not permissible to use or work with pirated software that has been unlawfully copied, infringing upon the rights of its owners. The employer will be held accountable for the software they use if the predominant practice involves using prohibited versions. However, what is earned from working with such software in permissible tasks is lawful because it is in exchange for effort, despite the sin of intellectual property infringement.
