You'll find either...
1- Its an illegal copy and you won't be able to register it.
2- Its a student version with some features disabled.

You'd need to do some homework before purchasing a 'bargain' copy...

Which is why I advocate the subscription model, you download the full software suite including access to tech support if there's a problem, something you may not get with the "bargain" version, I know of someone who bought the student version for $150 using his sons student id, but since he was using it for his business he couldn't get help when he really needed it since he was violating the license agreement!
Another thing I like about it is there is no additional cost to upgrade when a new version comes out, it automatically upgrades you to newest version including any new updates.
