Hi Shyrell,
Often they're illegal copies but more often they're OEM versions, which
should have been installed at a company site where multiple licenses were
purchased. If you ever need any help or want to apply updates, you would
not be able to do so because the serial numbers are assigned to the
original purchaser. I would avoid buying these versions. You're on your
own if you buy them and something is/goes wrong and they might be illegal
copies that could cause you trouble.
The other thing is that I would not trust anyone sending you an e-mail with
an offer at an extremely low price. They might just be trying phishing for
your credit card numbers. Even if I receive a special offer from a vendor
with whom I already have a relationship, I don't click on the e-mail but go
directly to their web site to buy.
Regards,
Steve
