After originally posting a listing very much like this one, I was attacked by Eovia's 'representatives' accusing me of illegal actions! Well, after dishing out my dough for their products all of a sudden I'm getting treated like dirt because I want to resell it? This is my pending experience of Eovia's strong arm tactics.

Why should you care? Because according to Eovia you could be breaking the law listing your Eovia software on eBay, or selling or purchasing an 'academic edition' illegally thinking that it's the commercial version (since there appears to be no difference in licensing between the two).

My original post was as follows:

For Sale: Carrara 4 Professional + Free Carrara 3, Vector Design! $380

Carrara 4 Professional Like New, In Box with Original CD's (2), Serial Number, and Manual. Being a Carrara User site, I won't go into the details of what Carrara 4 Pro is - you can check out the differences at http://www.eovia.com/products/carrara/carrara.asp - Includes Amapi Designer.

Received this as a free upgrade from Eovia when I made an academic purchase for Carrara 3 when Carrara 4 first came out. I have since decided to move to Maya Unlimited and do not use Carrara anymore. This was supposed to be an "upgrade" version, but they sent me a FULL VERSION that installs by itself. Also, they have no academic EULA, nor did I sign anything about academic restrictions for the free upgrade.

"This License grants to the Recipient the right to use images and models created through using the Software for either commercial or non-commercial purposes."

Anyways, according to Eovia I can't resell my Carrara 3 Academic Edition (though nowhere in its EULA does it say so, but heck who's going to buy Carrara 3 anyways?) - So I'll give the Carrara 4 Pro Purchaser the Carrara 3 'Academic Edition' for free (Yes manuals, 2 CD's in box like new and all) - the reason being that I have the Carrara 3 Vector Designer Plug-In that I will also give you that requires you to install Carrara 3 to install the plugin, though after it is installed you and remove Carrara 3 and update the plugin to work with Carrara 4 Pro.

Anyways, Just looking to cash out of Carrara and reimburse me for my hit on Maya. Contact me (private message) if you are interested and we can work out purchasing details (Paypal, or if you feel nervous I have 207+ feedback at eBay and can list an auction for you, though I will have to factor in surcharges for that.)

Thanks for looking!
