Can anyone please tell me the requirements to ensure that if I purchase
a used copy of 3DS privately, I can get it registered and updates will be
availible to me. Any pitfalls to purchasing used? assuming all material is
original and not corrupted. Thank you.

You should verify with Autodesk that the copy is legal and upgradable. There
are/have been copies of 3ds sold into the educational market that are
definately not upgradable.

To verify if the 3DS license is still a valid upgradable copy, call Autodesk
Customer Service with the serial number at 800-538-6401, or drop me an email
(never post license serial numbers publicly).
If you buy, make sure you get the original diskettes, documentation, and
hardware lock (if it's R2.0+). Registration can be transferred to you.
In any case, buying software through a source other than an Authorized Autodesk
Multimedia Reseller is a buyer beware situation; your risk.
