The eBay description for Turbo Tax deluxe explains that the download is NOT licensed. That it does not have a license key. Is this legal?

Beware of deeply discounted prices for tax software online from sellers you do not know. You can certainly purchase desktop software from a retailer for a lower price than you will find on the TT site, but purchase from reputable, familiar retailers like Amazon, Costco, Staples, BestBuy, Walmart, etc. Buying a program from someone on eBay who will not be providing the license for you to download is a foolish and risky choice.
Legal or not, it could not be used without a license code. So there is no reason to purchase this item.
Starting this year 2019 TurboTax requires a valid license key in order to use.
Only well-known reputable authorized resellers like Amazon, Staples, Office Depot, Newegg, Costco, etc. can sell TurboTax downloads.
Prices for Deluxe also depend on whether it has a state program included or not. Current prices on Amazon, for instance, for the 2019 Deluxe are:
29.88 (Deluxe without state)
39.86 (Deluxe with state).
