Buying Maya - need help
I need to buy a comercial maya licence, since i only got a student licence right now.
I live in Germany, but i want to buy it in the US, because the prize is about 500 USD less than in Europe.
Now, a friend of mine lives in California, could he buy Maya over there in America, and send it to me in europe ? or are there any problems with Wavefront then ?
Can he buy a "white" maya, without registering or anything? of course i want the software to be licenced on my name, not on his.
Thanks for any help!
Ulrich

I have no idea if that sort of thing is possible, but it sounds like a reasonable idea to me.

(edit) Now that I think about it, technically, it's black marketing the software. I lived in Germany for 4 years and had all sorts of dire warnings about buying things in the US for German friends without paying the tax. However, I do believe it would have to be in large quantities before any official would get their knickers in a twist.

next step, i need a distributor in the us, a friend going there and NOT registering the softwar (if thats possible) but just buy it, than sent it to me and i register here.
@black marketing: worst what can happen is, that you need to pay the VAT ...
