How does that saying go again ? If it's too good to be true.........

It's not difficult to dermine what the local market rate is for a piece of software (look around the online stores of large reputable box shifters). When you start seeing software below the average market rate, alarm bells should start ringing.

I believe we've covered the topic of OEM before, but my own guess is if you were to buy this one, it would be more than simply misusing an OEM license, you would most likely be buying an NFR license or similar, which is an even bigger no-no.

Why not give Microsoft a call ?
