Good Afternoon, Dov Isaacs said (in reference to Framemaker): "what is hawked on EBay is either pirated or stolen goods."
Gosh, I am happy that you told me that. I have seen Framemaker listed on EBay that stipulates "installed on one machine, only" and other variants of this statement. So I did wonder about that (registration and installation) and said to myself: "Well how would you know?" So unless that it was stated that "it is new" or Shrink-wrapped, and that "it is returnable" I do not even consider reading more... I recently saw a Ver 7.2 (on EBay) with an attractive price, that I got excited about, until I read down into the Listing and it said "Absolutely No Returns"... So I said: "I don't think so !!!"
