[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 162590, member: 6277"] Someone posted here recently about buying Office from a seller on EBAY. Two years later he needed to upgrade his computer and then uninstalled Office from the old computer and was going to install it on the new one. It would not work and after calling MS he found that the copy was a developer copy that should never have been sold. No key for him to reinstall it now. The software may work for a while till that key starts showing up to many time and then they will not allow it anymore. Not sure if Adobe does it or not but some software makers are now starting to have their software Call Home ever so often to check in. Illegal software gets bricked. [/QUOTE]
