lil help please

I have a chance to purchase a new copy of Apple's Logic Pro version 7 "academic" from a friend of a friend of a friend who got it after it fell off a truck . The only info that I have on it is that Its a full "academic" version and that I'd have to be able to meet apples requirments for registration (which i have no idea what they are). I had intended to go the logic pro route for my recording software and this guy is willing to part with it for about $200, however im not sure if I'll even be able to use it if i dont meet the requirements. I guess what I'm trying to ask is:

-what should I do???

-What's the difference between the "regular" version and the "academic" version

-and if anyone can help me find what those "academic" requirements are

any help would be greatly appreciated

best thing to do is buy your own legal copy. then you don't have to worry about anything

i think he means he's getting an inside deal, like he knows a manager or something.
if it was just a pirate why would he care about appl's education discound requirements?

I agree...make sure it's legal...if it's at all sketchy than forget it...don't risk it.

this is exactly what I mean

$1000 to $200 is a huge jump

its not a deal that you just pass up

From what I can see Its all legal, factory seal box, all the disks and manuals, and Im assuming that since the box is still sealed and from what I've been told that its never been registered. and remember possession is 9/10 of the law

the only hitch is that its the "academic" version, which i know nothing about

Are you a full-time student enrolled in a fully accredited university or college? I'm not too sure about the specifics of Apple's academic licensing, but I would think at the very least you'd actually have to be a student enrolled somewhere.

I would say that the only "hitch" is quite a big hitch you might want to figure out!

If you can't afford Logic Pro, I'm sure there are alot of other less expensive software solutions available. Good luck!
