response --- @Bennette, what you described is perfectly ordinary process of purchasing a software product from a (foreign) vendor, and in peaceful times everything seems ordinary. But if a political conflict arises among the two states, probably there is a possibility the national security agency of the state where the vendor is registered to try to use the situation against the other state (If some critical data is in question of course)...Probably somth.similar/comparable occurred in the Ukraine/Russia relations and the massive cyber-attacks in Ukraine.
