Find if the website sells genuine AutoCAD licences

[Costinbos77]

Hi all ,

 

How can I find out if the below website sells genuine AutoCAD license ?

Thanks

I haven't looked at the website, what is the cost they are quoting for a 'genuine' license and what is the cost that you might find elsewhere, perhaps searching Autodesk trusted resellers? If the 2 prices are very similar that adds some confidence but if the prices are very difference then be wary. For example in the UK a license is being quoted at about £1700 (discounted from £2000)

There are of course other options, BricsCAD has a good reputation, and ZWCad gets a mention every now and then

Bricscad pro $1740 AUD Lite even cheaper and is perpetual.

Apparently there was a ruling in the UK and the EU, about 10 years ago that the sale and reuse of valid licenses

was not illegal.  There was a posting in AUGI in 2013, I think, regarding that.

It may well be water long gone under the Autodesk bridge, but there appears

to have been a legal precedent established.

I clicked on the link, to investigate, and I also looked at their Trust Pilot profile reviews.

Due diligence is always the best way to go.

i didn't know that. might partly explain the shift from 'owning' the software to annual licenses
