Ethics and logistics question: I just bought a used iMac with GoLive CS installed on it. It didn't come with the install disks, but the program is authorized for the computer. I'm wondering if I technically have the right to use it?
I'll save myself the need to answer the logistics question by saying No to the ethics question. Really this is how the pirate industry works. Buy one legal copy and distribute it on everything they make. This video is old, but little has changed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_4IERiD0rc I'm not saying that the person who sold you the computer was intentionally pirating software. I'd say your choice is simple, contact the seller and ask them for the original GoLive install discs. If they indicate that they are still using the program then it's pretty clear you shouldn't be. If they no longer use the program and send you the discs, great, if they say they 'no longer use the program but can't find the discs' then, and this is purely my opinion, I'd reckon a legal eagle for the software companies would still say you can't use it, but for me personally, you've made sure (as best you can) that only one person is using the program so then you can deal with your logistics problem:-) You never know, when you contact them they might be able to give you the serial No and so solve your logistics problem.
