Any experience with $50 "OEM" OrCAD software?

Jun 03, 2006 5 Replies

I notice offers on the web, eBay and in newsgroups for OrCAD Unison Suite version 10.x software at prices of $30-$100. This seems too low to be true. Does anyone have experience with this?



Thanks, Steve

It's very high for pirated software, and certainly far too low to be original software.

Consider the legal costs and penalties if someone turns you in for running pirated software, as the dollar amount for the "theft" can easily be well over the threshold for a felony, especially if you have additional non-authorized copies of music or video in the house/office when they get a warrant to sieze all the computers at your home and business.

All it might take to trigger that would be a kiddie p*rn/warez server on one of your machines operated by script kiddies.

somebody trying to rip you off. making money from pirated copy. rw
