if you are wanting LEGIT software stay away from those OEM sites


espically in the FAQ this part is sketchy

Where does this software comes from ?

The software is shipped from Eastern Europe.
any site selling $700 software for 50 bucks is not legit

You could save more money going to Thailand and buying the same quality software for $2/ea. Why are they so cheap? They have low overhead!

Deal with those guys and you'll have two problems: The Software Police at your door (assuming you get the software) and you'll have some overseas shady characters with your credit card number.

Groundzero, I also picked up on them not offering tech support and that they are also not U.S. based, That is mainly why I posted the question that and to see if anyone had ever dealt with them. It just sounded to good to be true...
Thanks for the info
