Software Archive

autodeskguest

I just stumbled across the Software Archive website, which claims to sell a

fully registerable coy of Eagle 5.0 pro for $39.95. Download only & no

manual. This sounds way to good to be true. Is it legitimate?

 

Thanks,

    URL?

     

    I assume that either

    a) It's just the normal freeware download that is also available

    completely free from CadSoft. In this case, "registerable" would mean

    that you can buy a license from CadSoft and then use your already

    installed copy without having to install it again (just as it is with

    the download from CadSoft). So you'd pay $39.95 for really nothing.

    b) It's illegal and/or cracked.

     

    Keeping in mind that these days there are many offerings where you'd pay

    for nothing (like expensive entries in some obscure "company data bases"

    etc.), I'd say that a) has a higher probability.
