Guys,
 
A real warning. In the last two weeks alone I have been contacted by
THREE people who have been burnt by this. 
 
One guy purchased from ebay and got the item sent out. It turned out to
be an educational license where the key was attached to an account in
France (not the UK where he purchased it).
 
The other two purchased off TradeMe and paid $600 and $800 for media
kits. They were unopened so the person selling probably didn't know they
weren't full versions, but they may have. This is also not legal, only
our resellers with reseller agreements can resell our products without
explicit permission from us.
 
We aren't trying to make things hard for you guys, if you have a
legitimate sale (decreasing developers, etc) then we are happy to grant
permission, but it is to protect people from things like this happening.
 
Richard
