yes, its my first post, so be gentle.
i have been using Revit in its various forms since Revit 5.0 and have only just stumbled onto this site
anyways, my point is, where i am currently working we are about to puchase a second license, looking at the Revit Architecture Visualtization Suite (Revit, AutoCAD, AutoCAD Architecture, 3ds Max Design, Navisworks) as we want to go into the 3D visulation further, as more and more clients are requesting it.
My concern is, i can buy the same software direct from AutoDesk US website, and save around $4,000 as compared to buying the same software from the usual Channels within Australia.
In todays world, where we live with no real borders, what are the legal issues or constraints associated with using US Licenced software in Australia?
please note, that $4000 saving allows for all relevant duties and taxes to be paid by buying the software from the US direct, so unless there is a real issue with the licensing aggrement i cant see any reason why not to buy it direct from Autodesk and save close to $4000 for the same software?
thanks in advance for any responses
