I'm in the market for FC Studio or rather FC Pro, I don't see a need for the rest of the "package" but all or nothing seemingly.

My question is does buying new,(cheaper), from a UK based "non-official" Mac re-seller pose any potential problems?

I'm not asking about second hand purchases but "new un-opened". There does appear to be some very considerable price fluctuation if one searches out there.

Hi
No difference - if the retailer gives you some discount thats absolutely fine.

Ownership of a full (with-licence) package of any earlier FCP version gives eligibility for the Upgrade to FCS 3, which installs with only the previous serial number needed.

Any views on buying off ebay? Presumably " a new, un-opened box" purchased from a seller with a good track record ought to be okay.
