So it's legal to buy bootleg software that doesn't ask for a serial #? Could it potentially crash my computer Does it have "bugs" in it &amp; is it safe?

It is 32 bit and unUseable, because the Actvation time is out and or it is a OEM version with no product number. In wich you will be riped of. What is funny the sellers act as if it has value. Typical fraud.

With a download you are not getting software that is specifically tied to a particular serial and registration number. It is the serial number that is unique to each registration number so there really is little risk with the download. However if you plan to use payroll this is not the version for you as Sage will not sell you a tax service for it as it is an obsolete version. Also you won't be able to get support for it if you need it. They are now on version 2015

http://www.tomopop.com/psa-good-smile-company-has-a-big-guide-to-bootlegs-29743.phtml I'll be honest: I didn't even know this figure was rereleased already. That said, a quick google search brought up the above link. IIt's an article highlighting the difficult task of spotting bootleg products(example pictures and chart Iincluded). See if that helps ease your mind. If that doesn't satisfy you, look over as much of your seller's information as you can, including previous auctions and feedback to said auctions. Good luck!

Yes, the software I received is legal. It is actually Sold by World Weidner - Machine Embroidery Supplies from which I have purchased many other embroidery-related items. I registered the Embrilliance software with no problems, and they notify and download updates as needed.

Hi Loren, in this instance I do not think it matters that there was no box. It might matter if you were purchasing the license from off the shelf of a retail store where others might have come into contact with the license and had an opportunity to copy it. But I think the only way you would experience a licensing issue here would be if your computer is already compromised (aka hacked) before installing/running Kaspersky which would not only jeopardize your newly purchased license but just about everything else on your computer as well. The only other way anyone could get your license would be for the hacker or hackers to try and hack Amazons servers. To put it mildly that is much easier said than done and I think volunteering to walk barefoot across hot coals might be a less painful and shorter (in duration) experience than the fines, jail time, and overall penalties associated with trying to hack Amazon or it's servers. On my system I added Kaspersky Pure 3.0 to a clean fresh install of Windows 7, and then ran a full scan with Kaspersky the moment it finished installing and then updating. I would recommend following that procedure to anyone installing any new Antivirus or internet security suite. I hope this helps! Happy computing! Robert

Thanks for the reply Jack, I wasn't sure since they require a serial number to go through the order process. Will probably order one of these tomorrow.

Had no idea they were bootleg, will no longer buy ink cartridges from amazon if they are selling bootleg products. Will buy direct from HP instead. Have done it before and they make it very easy and usually have some sort of deal.

This product is EOL for Apple, meaning End of Life, naturally only the seller can guarantee that a product will work or not, however as long as the original serial card is included with the product you should be fine, you can also have the seller Call into Apple and they will transfer a license to you as well.

The Clarasonic that I purchased was unopened, in original packaging and verified as real? I read the reviews regarding counterfeits which made me very reluctant to make a purchase. I decided to make the purchase and as soon as I received it, I immediately contacted Clarasonic to register my Mia2 and spoke to thenm about counterfeit units. they went thru a series of identifier for counterfeit units. i gave them the serial numbers and they registered it with no problem. My sister also purchased a Mia 2 and had no problem registering her Mia2.

Short Answer Yes. I'm pretty sure it's illegal and Amazon most likely has a policy against directing people to the websites that would contain them. You would not be able to play it without having a tool like Swap Magic, though.

I was unable to use the software that I ordered because it had not for sale on the CD and it would not work on my computer. Be very careful when buying because the merchant will allow you to return the merchandise, but the merchant, evidently does not return your money.

I know with older Windows products it will eventually stop running and you will HAVE to register Windows. I had the displeasure of finding that out myself. Without registering your OS your system will eventually become useless. This COULD very well mean you have an illegal copy. Worst case scenario. There's an FAQ here if it helps any: http://www.microsoft.com/OEM/en/Pages/support-faq.aspx#fbid=E_yFDd6LS5OIf Microsoft can't help you, you should contact the distributor. If they can't help, then they deserve a really REALLY bad review.

The regular package ships with an installation cd. If the one you buy says OS Code, you only receive the product license key and then you will have to download the software over the internet (no additional charge). The end result is the same, in most customers situations, it just a matter of preference.
