Answer 1

if it's unopened look at the box it came it, it will tell you if its the full version.

Answer 2

It is a worthless copy. When you upgrade AutoCAD to a newer version, the old license is invalid. After you install the program, you must authorize it and it will be denied and it will not work.



You can get AutoCAD LT (the light version of AutoCAD) or try an AutoCAD clone such as IntelliCAD at www.autodsys.com/purchase-atod.htm

Answer 3

It is illegal to sell a copy of autocad unless you are a licensed reseller. You are being scammed. No reseller would sell for $500.



Get ProgeCAD Smart for free - it does most of what AutoCAD does, and you can get a full functioning version that does 99% of what Autocad does for quite a bit less than you are paying for a worthless license.
