I have had excellent experience purchasing Microsoft software from eBay vendors. I have advertised the great deals in Microsoft forums, we have discussed them. It seems that some companies buy software in bulk and are left with extra copies (License Codes) which they sell at deep discounts. The downloads are from Microsoft websites.
Since I need to support many 3D file formats (Import/Export), I cannot possibly pay for regular retail price. Autodesk has to be the greatest 3D company on earth.
If you are buying SketchUp Pro from anywhere else than these it’s fairly certain that it’s not legitimate. Also I’ve never seen legitimate previous years versions of SketchUp for sale at discounted prices as can be the case with other software packages. It’s not something SketchUp do. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
As for the cracked versions, they are often given away as free links. In exchange they can carry hidden nasties that can damage your system, steal your personal information or maybe even your soul.
The people selling these are often only selling this “free” link to you and don’t “own” the link themselves, further abusing the situation.
Hi there
I am curious about the Ebay sketchup Pro that is for sale? They come up time to time on Ebay
I see you spoke about it here…is this a scam / illegal hack? Have you ever used it?
Thanks
