Sorry if this is the wrong place or if it shouldn't be asked on the board. Mods feel free to lock it if that's the case (errrr, like you need my permission in any event).
Question in a nutshell:
If I buy some compositing software from another country, will there be issues registering it in my country? I live in Australia and software is a little expensive compared to, say, the US market where there is a lot more price competition. I have a feeling that software is only able to be authorised in the country (region) it is sold in, to protect the reseller networks.
Has anybody done this? Were there any problems? I don't want to shell out over a thousnad dollars to find out that my software cannot be used.
Even at regular retail prices with no discounts, something like Combustion 4 would be a couple of hundred dollars cheaper.
Cheers.
