Unlike other software products, Mobipocket books can only be registered once. I.e., it's not possible to sell used Mobipocket books or dictionaries on a CD. You should ask the seller for a refund, because s/he was most likely aware of this issue.

Yeah, except MBP Reader isn't even available on the old site, either; you have to go hither and yon all over the internet to find it, and it's on some (to me) questionable sites where I wouldn't download it, myself. I don't know why they took Reader down and not Creator, but they did. FWIW.
And, yes, I'd be shocked if the seller didn't know of the issue. Almost anyone in the ebook world knows that the Mobipocket site has been dead or nearly dead for at least 3 years, closer to 4.
