Good luck buying a new copy of AutoCAD 12 for DOS from them today. I am not
even sure what the license stated back then about selling the program to
another person legally.
I have no knowledge either way. But it does seem
to me that just
because person B doubts that person A knows it's pirated does not
necessarily mean that that person B has reason to think it's not.
My hints come from his mentioning that several people helped him with
"finding a copy", as well as my experience with the shark-like rapacity
of Autodesk's licensing requirements. Call me skeptical. It's not
like AutoCAD is a thirty-years-extinct product. It's alive and well.
You're supposed to buy it.
