Software stealing from Autodesk

While on facebook I came across advertisement of Autodesk software offered on a massively discounted price. Out of curiosity I purchased cheapest set of soft which was a bunch - CAD, Revit, RecapPro, Navisworks and plenty more for £25/m. Unbelievably cheap! I was wondering what is the catch. Or is it a plain scam. Surprisingly I received all the licences and they were working! Catch is they are ALL student versions.

 

I hate thieves. So much was stolen from me, clothing, equipment, means of transport... I hope that Autodesk is going to address it.

uhm... just a word of caution. If you purchase from them and make unfavourable review they will refund and you will receive ton of spam on the email registered for purchase. Like ton ton. 1 spam every 5 minutes like.

That's life; you just gotta be careful, mate.

"Life doesn't come on a golden platter"; remember that when you see something like that again...

I did not loose any money. I risked very little anyway. I exposed a scammer in the process - well worth it. I hope Autodesk is going to take action and will shut them down.

If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. 

 

I usually report those on the platform I find them. Its not just Autodesk that they do it too, I have seen it with several others as well. Just report them. 

 

If there are any questions 

 

You can always see if they are in the Autodesk partners as well
