I'm interested in this auction. The software is listed as brand new but does not come with the box or manual. Should I be wary or is this normal?

It says quite clearly in the auction that it is an OEM version. So... no manuals or big box; just a sleeve.

And you can't legally sell OEM unless you are a manufacture of the hardware (correct me if I'm wrong). I think places like Canada Computers is also doing wrong when they give you a copy of Nero with every purchase of DVD writers. It's suppose to be packaged in the retail box.

most likely the seller got it from the company's promo and doesn't need it, happens all the time. legit stuff, just free giveaways
