EU vs USA Software Purchase

    Hello,

    I was looking for the latest version of AutoCAD LT (which is PC software) and had a look at Amazon. Amazon.com has it for $815, Amazon.co.uk has it for £772 and Amazon.de has it for €1200. Some difference.

    Is there any reason why I should not buy from USA and install here in Ireland? Will I get nailed with duty / taxes? How much?

    Apologies if I have posted in the wrong section. Thank you.
    :confused:

    Nope, I've done this, the only problems you'll encounter are with Word Processors that refuse to default to real english, or DVD burning software that won't burns Region 2 (3 levels of protection, drive, windows, software; pain in the ass).
    AutoCAD should be grand though.

    I've only bought a handful of software titles from the US, but if you can get them to mark its insurance value lower (or Gift Wrap it, send invoice electronically!) you'll save a packet.

    3 cheers for globalisation.
