Lucky you then. They simply not selling it to someone who reverse engineer old games for instance. Or anyone who decide to not send them scan of their passport and provide any other weird proof of identify.
PS: Just in case not everyone live in first world countries or being employee of well known companies. While it's possible to buy almost any software just fine IDA have extremely weird policies.
Hi, I bought a copy of IDA when I was 18 expressly for the purpose of reverse-engineering old games.
To be fair, I used my university E-mail, and they thought they were licensing it to my university until I tried to transfer it to my personal E-mail upon graduating....
There are other ways to obtain this, as you probably already know. Not sure if they do any more than what another ecommerce shop would do to verify a large transaction from an international order.
Anyone else have a problem with this? Are they indeed requiring more than the normal proof of identity to complete a cc transaction?
