![]() They are unlicensed, and un-authorized, and will time out after 30 days. You can download a 30 day trila of most current Acad versions from the Adesk web-site. ![]() (I believe if you purchase a company that has Acad seats, for a $1K fee Adesk will let you aquire those licenses - otherwise to bad.) I could sell you my old CD's (since I own the physical media) but you would not be able to authorize the installation, or run it. ![]() Hence there is no legitimate way to obtain Acad other than a authorized dealer, direct from Adesk, or as a student version not usable for professional use. Since resale of software would compete with new sales, the vendors, in particular autodesk, refuse to permit that. The original purchaser does NOT own the software he has simply purchased the right to use it, under the terms the vendor determines to be most beneficial to the vendor. According to them, calling a software sale a 'license' (as most if not all vendors do) rather than a sale means that the software has no resale value, and cannot be resold without the permission and active voluntary cooperation of the original vendor. You can thank SCOTUS for deciding that the first sale doctrine does not apply to software.
