Currently I use 3.0 version, and would appreciate knowing where I can
obtain a newer version of Filemaker Pro at a major discount. I live in
southern California,US.

Thanks.

If you did find somewhere that would give you an unusually big

Yep, there's really only about five types of legal discount that I know
of for most software:


- Educational / Government organisations get a discount,
but the license is not to be used for profit-making companies
(ie. students can't buy it and then set-up their own business)

- Developer "club" (usually has an expensive membership fee)

- Multi-license pack (price per license is cheaper than
buying multiple individual licenses)

- Upgrades when owning the previous version (sometimes versions
older than the immediately previous one count as well)

- Old stock of previous versions being sold off

Anything else is usually suspicious.

Yep, that's why they have an AOL address rather than their own. \


Of course, JUST having a domain name doesn't guarantee the legality of
the seller either, but it is at least a minor step in the right
direction.



Second-hand is different to "wholesale" though - second-hand is
(usually) older versions. Even then, some second-hand software can
actually be an illegal sale as well:

- someone will pay the Upgrade pack price and then sell off
their original older version, which is illegal,

- someone installs or copies the original CD-ROM and then
sells the original,

- it has been stolen from someone else,

- the legal small print on some software actually says you're
not allowed to re-sell it, even if you're no longer using it.
