License key which don't allow technical support?

Post by jparnold »

I have seen on Ebay people in USA selling license keys very cheap stating the following -

"for the simple reason that they do not have technical support, they are created for companies that do not require it.

The license key can only full activate the program, and is for personal use only( NO FUTURE UPDATES LIKE DO THE CONTRACT LICENSES)."

Does that mean they also won't allow updates for bug fixes?

More likely they are offering Keygens and cracks, stay well clear of such fraudulent offers, it will only end up costing you money.
You can of course report such posts to the relevant product manufacturer and let them take necessary action

The very poor grammar and incorrect punctuation (in their quoted statement) should have been an obvious clue. :wink:

Thanks for the heads up
As it is for VS 2018 (not the latest) I wasn't sure (and I took no notice of the incorrect grammar as I have seen lots of if on Ebay listings).
