I get a lot of advertisements about dowloadable software. One that I've been getting a lot lately is for Adobe CS3 Premium for only $269 when the retail price is well over $1,500.00. I was wondering if this is a scam. Has anyone used these downloads? What was your experience? Would you recommend it to a friend? What are the disadvantages to downloading as opposed to purchasing the CD?
yea u dont wanna listen to advertisements.. the best way to get programs for free .. its not legal but go to bitcomet; download the program + its Keygen program for the subscription key
download the program and show uve "bought it" with the keygen code
good luck
OEM software is legal duh.. just how u get it is either legal or illegal
u can pay for it fully and get it legally .. the discounted ones are obviously just leading u into other spam. or u can do it the way i said and get it for free illegally
I don't agree with the voters' choice for best answer. I choose diplipis for the best answer. I did some research and found that some OEM downloads are legal and safe, you just don't get all of the frills and company support. Thanks D! So who did you download from? discount oem software
OEM software software can be downloaded legally at discount prices. The reason that the prices are cheaper than retail is because of reduced costs associated with CDs, packaging, marketing, shipping, manuals, etc. You don't get any of this with OEM software but the trade off is that it is cheaper.
A lot of people don't realize what the bulk of the cost is in buying software. It is not a box or a disk or a manual, but rather a license to use the software.
I have bought OEM software in the past and been happy with it. The discount for the particular product you mentioned seems steep (so I would be highly suspicious). Is this a respectable company? Unfortunately, the only way to know if you are buying a legal product is to see some kind of proof that the distrubtor has the legal right to sell the software. Some sort of distribution/licensing agreement. Why not send an email and ask for proof that the product is legit? It would be the safe play for your legal concerns.
It is usually a scam yes, you will get the product, and you will get a key for it, but the people who sell it got it illegally and generated a key for it...
In other words, you wodiscount oem softwarent get ripped off if you buy it, youll get what they advertise, but they got it illegally, therefore it is illegal...
The best way to get GENUINE OEM software is to go to a store that may sell OEM versions of software...
Or get a cd somewhere...
It's just a SPAM. Don't trust them. I don't know if it's legal but it's not safe, that's for sure. You might get some unreadable discs, or who knows what. Just ignore those email messages. Don't even try to download, it may infect your PC with spyware or viruses.
I highly doubt it's legal, first, it came as an unsolicited email (spam), secondly, the price is 75% off retail, third, I'm sure the website address is something really shady looking like discountsoftware.adobe.asdfdfh.com.cx. I wouldn't visit the site, because most likely it's just a front for identity theft. Even if you don't enter your CC info into the site and submit an order they may stealth install a trojan or other virus to collect your information without your knowledge. Best bet, just delete any and all spam you get, because 99%, if not 100% of the time it's just a scam.
