It hit me the opportunity of buying a used card PC-3000 UDMA. Seller - the company ended its business and wants to sell it.
The question is whether I will be able to legally use this card and buy her support?
Is such a purchase makes sense?

As the card is recorded after the purchase? Given email address or something like that? Perhaps such data vendor could also give me. But is not that enough?

No, you can't transfer the license or get support. So if you bought it, you couldn't even activate the card in another computer, and you definitely can't buy support.

Don't do it.

Now I understand why they want to sell it along with computer.

In theory: what data would I need to activate this card?

It's an online activation process. If you're moving to another computer, you'd need to create a ticket with Ace for them to re-activate the software. But, that wouldn't be possible if you didn't buy it from Ace.

It's really not worth it in my opinion. Just buy a unit direct from Ace. As long as you're able to get the cases in, it'll pay for itself.

Have I to send a mail to ACE or something like that to do online activation?
How ACE verifies who uses the card?

Price is quite ok (less than half), so why I'm considering it.

if you really want that half price system- buy the company that is quitting its business- presuming it is registered in company's name. Other than that it is too big a headache.
