    Giving out information

    Hi all,
    I am new to this forum. I have a valid copy of Visual Studio 2008 that I received free from a MS event in Chicago. Before I went I was jonesing for my own copy so I purchased one outright from an on-line store which I did not have to pay taxes for.

    I am trying to sell the latter product on Ebay and a potential buyer asked me to send him a copy of the product key number? Is this safe to do or very foolish? I can't seem to find anything on the internet telling me one way or the other. Thank you for your assistance.

    Ger

      If you give out the product key, then someone else can take whatever version that they downloaded off the interenet, install your product key and have a nice, valid copy. Personally, I would say don't do it. If they want the key, they can buy the disc from your auction and you'll happily send the whole thing to them.

      I hate when people prey on the unsuspecting, thinking they won't be smart enough to think about what they are doing first. I am also glad you asked before doing so, now you know.

      Regards,

      Jeff
