I bought mine 2nd hand. I created a new account at myirex and the iliad's mac was registered normally. I used the account for developer access, updates, etc. All went fine.

BUT:
The previous owner gave his subscription to a newspaper with it, but I was unable to transfer this to my new account. The newspaper helpdesk could not or did not want to transfer the subscription. The previous owner gave me his myirex credentials, so I could easily switch back to his account.

SO:
If any subscribtions are included with your purchase: Ask for the seller's account info at myirex. Then change the account's password.
If no subscribtions are included, then you can just create a new account and all will be fine.
