Technically ;) Autodesk sells the user only one license, which gets transfered to the new software version as it is upgraded. Therefore, the only way you could get a copy that would be even marginally legal would be if the user stopped using AutoCAD or purchased a complete new copy to replace the old one. I haven't had to do a regular upgrade since about Release 10 (where I work now is at an AutoCAD Registered Developer, so we have different licensing terms), but at that time, you had to return the original of the serialized first program disk in order to get the upgrade.

I was referring to picking on up surplus. I see them quite often around
here.
