I was gifted with EQ6 because my quilt, journal, and 'toid tins were in the Dear Jane EQ program.
I found with the books I could get into the basics, but I didn't use it often enough to remember it from time to time. Even today, some years later, I can't think of any real reason to use the program. I design my quilts on my working wall and think they are far more interesting than what software might suggest.
I too would be leary of the reinstalls being used up. Ask the seller for the numbers, then ask the folks at EQ, and then you'll have a paper(cyber) trail if there is something wrong with the program.
EQ website has massive information and an active forum if you decide to get any of the versions.
