Hey All, i took a bit of a gamble today. I bought a second hand version of Studio5000, FTView Studio, FTView Studio ME.
I have been using Logix5000 for years now on my PC. It has never skipped a beat, so i never really needed to question how it all worked from a licence point of view. But I recently needed to purchase FTView suite for a project, and while browsing ebay, I saw an offer i could not refuse... (I know I know... i could regret this a lot).
The purchase was not cheap, but as you all can imagine, it certainly was not retail pricing either. There is no way i can afford retail. Both suites come with a red envelope stating:
"Your Software and Factory Talk Activation information are enclosed"
I believe (hope) the licence details are in there...
I take it this is an obsolete copy and the previous company who owned it has upgraded.
I need to wait a few weeks (possibly over a month) to arrive here. While i wait, can anyone foresee any licencing issues i might run into?
