• End-User piracy: Users copy software without appropriate licensing for each copy. This includes companies who do not monitor the number of licenses and allow more than the maximum number of users to install copies of licensed software. Users who put a copy of their work software on their home computer, or vice-versa are also violating the license agreement.
• Hard Disk Loading: Unauthorized copies of software are installed on computer hard-drives prior to sale. If no license information or serial number accompanies such a copy, it is likely to be pirated.
• Internet Piracy: Unauthorized copies are downloaded over the Internet. If serial numbers and downloads are made available on the Internet, make sure that the publisher has authorized this distribution.
• Counterfeiting: Making and distributing illegal copies of software in packaging that reproduces the manufacturer’s packaging. Counterfeit registration cards with unauthorized serial numbers are often included in these packages.
• Online Auction Piracy, which takes several forms, such as:

1. Software resold in violation of the original terms of sale. Academic sold as commercial, NFR (Not For Resale), volume licenses, or OEM software is never authorized for resale by the third party.
2. Seller offers software for sale in quantity and is not an authorized reseller or otherwise licensed to reproduce or distribute sap software.
3. Earlier versions of software that have been used to obtain an upgrade to a later version are not transferable to a new owner, per sap license agreements.

• Pirated software cannot be upgraded to later versions.
• Technical Support is not available for pirated versions.
• You may have purchased an incomplete or out of date version of the software.
• Viruses often accompany illegally distributed software.
• Legal prosecution for Intellectual Property Law infringement can result in arrest, felony charges, up to five years in jail and fines of up to $250,000.

• If you are buying a used copy, check to see if the software has been registered. Get the serial number and name of the user and contact sap to see if the software is registered in this name. Verify that the seller can legally transfer ownership to you.
• If the owner has used this copy to upgrade to a newer version, the license will not allow transfer of the earlier version license to another user. Installing an upgrade version forfeits the original license.
• sap requires any reseller who is selling sap educational software to be a part of the sap Authorized Academic Reseller (SAAR) program. To ensure that the eBay seller you wish to buy from is authorized by sap, you can check at www.sap.com or send an email to tip@sap.com.
• Only an authorized Academic reseller can sell academic software and must verify the academic status of the purchaser. If resold, the seller must clearly state the software is academic and must verify eligibility of the buyer, prior to sending the software. For more information, please see http://www.sap.com/resources/education/requirements.html.
• Volume licenses cannot be resold, and are never sold as separate copies to individuals. If the seller claims these are "extra" licenses for resale, they are not legitimate.
• Selling backup copies is illegal, regardless of any legal "disclaimers" or other claims by the seller.
• Register your software with sap when you receive it.
• Keep your receipt and your copy of your registration card. These will allow you to verify that you have a legal copy of the software.
