Don't trust it. I know very few big name manufacturer's who offer
download software products sold through any other site than their own.
The GM of a radio station I used to run IT for came to me one day saying
that he bought some software from a vendor on e-bay. The software was
way undercost. He wanted me to install it. There were programs from 4
different manufacturers on one (inkjet) printed disk. After opening the
folders and reading the install instructions I saw several references to
files with passwords, that the install would read during the install.
Some kind of verbiage in the install files as well "no support, no
upgrade, due to the low cost of this software...."
After calling Sony for verification we petitioned EBay to get our money
back for the fraudulant software. The seller claimed that they were
"fully within the rights of the EULA agreements" of the software they
were dispensing. Sony's lawyers didn't see it that way when they went to
court....

those which are child pornographic, defamatory, abusive, harassing, obscene,
racist, or otherwise objectionable.
...So either the software is legal or they don’t know tekdealers is seling
illegal software?
Is there anyway to check with MM about this?

if you follow the WHOIS trail :
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tekdealers.com
'NOTE: This domain is registered through register.com, a poor WHOIS provider
that often violates ICANN regulations and does not provide WHOIS service.'
checking the WHOIS results from register.com gives this :
Registrant:
DomainsByProxy.com
Who's site says :
'...So if you want to keep your personal information private and still
retain
full benefits of domain registration, then a “private registration” is for
you.
Your identity is nobody’s business but ours.'
so, they appear to have done everything they can to avoid being contacted
directly.
Personally I like the services I use to have some public visibility.
I guess its a case of Caveat Emptor.
