Seriously...

How can you tell if you bought a legal version of the PC RPG Makers? I got XP several years ago when I was in college, and I got it off of Gamespot if I remember right. I'm sure it's a legitimate copy, but I had some problems with it a while ago.

There are two possibilities for the problems:
1. It was an early release that had not been fully patched and required a patch for something involving the gold system I think...I'm not sure.
2. I accidently bought a pirated version...which means that I'd have to go out and buy a legal one cause I don't like playing with illegal software.

Any help on this?

Re: Seriously...

Valk will have to answer this one, Im not too sure...did you buy it on a disc or download the full version? If you bought it on a disc then its illegal, as if I remember correctly, XP is a download only title.

Even if it was a download, I think the official site(is it Agetec or Enterbrain or neither?) would be the only one allowed to host a full download for it.

Also, how much did you buy it for?

It cost like $60 at the time and I downloaded it.

Re: Seriously...

Thats the price it goes for, can you find the link you used if it still exists?

Re: Seriously...

that's the legal version.

several sites hosted the trial (the pavilion almost did it too), which was then upgraded to the full version through a link in the software itself.

Re: Seriously...

Sweet. Thank you. I just wanted to confirm that I had the legal version because of the problems that I had some time ago. I was poking around and saw that some of you knew how to tell so I figured that I'd ask.
