Mastercam for sale on Ebay

THIS SYSTEM CAME OUT OF A SCHOOL HAS FOLLOW: 12 LATHE MANUALS 15 DESIGN MANUALS 13 POST PROCESSOR MANUALS 13 MILL MANUALS APROXIMATELY 30 DISKS NO DONGEL

First of all, is this legal? Second, NO DONGLE? I guess if you wanted the manuals for students and the disks for backup purposes... I hope whoever buys this doesnt plan on installing the software. They will be in for a big suprise when the warning comes up "Hasp not found" and then Mastercam shuts down. Buyer beware!

 

EDIT

I guess they are being somewhat honest with the "NO DONGLE", but they should also point out that the software will not run without it!

No it is NOT legal (whether it actually runs or not). We have had success in the past getting eBay to terminate offerings like this. We'll look into it

And BTW, thanks a lot for the info!

Mark,

 

Maybe the school is trying to sell those books and disks themselves. They did specify "no dongle" so anyone who is aware of the software licensing of Mastercam will recognize that it would do them no good without the key. "Buyer Beware" is right! People will sell anything on EBay. Thanks to PDG for clarifying the legal issue. The more word gets out about this kind of thing, the better. That's why there's a BSA link at the bottom of this, and other official Mastercam web sites.

I sent the guy a friendly e-mail reminding him to read the EULA and that he was not supposed to be selling those things.
