Is it free to use end of life product?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Autodesk ArtCAM is an end of life product.

Is that mean it is free to use? Is there a legal problem to use it without an ordered or paid licence beacuse of it is an EOL product?

If it is not legal to use it, can you provide me a document that shows I cannot.

Thanks

The general terms of use for Autodesk products state you need a license to run any product unless otherwise stated.

Can you find any information that ArtCam is free to use? If not, it is not.

Just because a product is end of life doesn't mean it's free. It just means there wont be anymore updates and possibly won't be activated.

As Pola said unless clearly stated that it's free then you need a license.

If you don't have a valid license and use 'other' means to get around licensing then it's piracy.
