I recently acquired Omnitrader Real Time 2001 from an eBAY auction, advertised as new, never registered and eligible for registration by the new owner. This has been a real nightmare. I paid $585 for the $999 package so I thought it was a good deal. As it turns out this guy was located in Sri Lanka even though his location was listed as NY and he had obtained evaluation-only software under the pretense of becoming a reseller. When you operate this software it communicates with the the servers at Nirvana and verifies valid license agreement. Even though I had the CD Key code to install and register the software Nirvana remotely deactivates it and an unlicensed copy message appears. Through intense efforts I have him agreeing to return most, but not all of my money. So beware purchasing Omnitrader from anyone but an authorized reseller. Now I would insist on a copy of their invoice and talk to Nirvana for their support of the license transfer. Gary Smith of TheStreet.com says this software is mostly hype. On a positive note, I just acquired Metastock Professional 7.0 on eBAY for $585, but I did contact Equis before purchasing it, and this transaction went well. I am now the licensed and registered user. I hope my story prevents someone else from getting ripped-off, for both time and money. Good luck and good trading.
