Follow-up: Cheap Softwares, Inc.

Well, you'd think that if these were 'educational' specials, they'd be labeled or coded in an identifiable way for licensing.

I would assume that a software company can design its products to tell whether a serial number is legitimate or not, and when registering, determine if the number has been used before and request proof of a valid sale if it has. If they want to distribute "volume commercial licenses that do not require activation," then arguably the onus is on them if these get into the e-tail market.
