is cheapsoftwareworld safe?

i have just downloaded Zbrush trial and i instantly fell in love with it and i was wondering would this site be good to buy it from?

they have it for $59.95. that seems a bit too cheap
now would that come with everything?

anyone know anywhere else that i could get it from? not too expensive though

 

Several posts have been deleted; discussion of software piracy is strictly prohibited on these forums.

 

If you're a student, you can usually buy some quality software for a greatly discounted price through your university.

 

no I don't think it's legit. that software is ~$600 retail.

 

uuum i might have to ask someone here, not sure who
but thanx for the tip
anywhere online that allows students to buy it cheaper?

 

Many software vendors (such as Adobe) offer student discounts, but they lower extortionate prices to slightly less extortionate prices.

 

aint that always the way

 

Well this is the google ranking: (Attached image)

Check out the first and second links . Stay away.

JourneyEd.com has it for $400 though. (JourneyEd is a legitimate student discount site.)

thanx for the links, anywhere in UK that sells them?

 

Go to the software maker's website and see if they have any links to authorized educational dealers in the UK.

 

great i was enoying using the software, now its going crazy - one minute it will allow me to use the program and the next minute its saying i need to recover the serial and then 10 minutes later its fine again

i had a look on there site, i found a place that sells it,but at a price £250+ for the student version and over £300 for the commerial version whats the difference between them?

 

Usually the price and the license agreement are the differences. You cannot use it commercially, It is for education purposes only. Also, sometimes an educational copy of software will not allow you to upgrade to the next version (non-educational).

 

what does "you cannot use it commerically" mean exactly?

 

Basically, you cannot use it for any income-producing activities; nor, if your primary calling is a non-profit activity, in that non-profit activity.

 

so for example:

if i were working for a company and made a model for say a game, that would be against the law? as i would be getting paid to create the models that would be used in the game, well thats just great...

 

That's the gist of it. It'd be a breach of your license agreement, and thus would entitle the software maker to remedies under the license itself as well as applicable contract law.

 

great, looks like im going to have to save up for the commerial verison, just in case
