Value is one thing, the real issue about this purchase is clarity.
If you are unhappy and haven't registered the software you should be able to get a refund if your country has distance selling regulations.
Most companies doing this kind of promotion use a coupon mechanism that the purchaser types in on checkout - this makes it clear what's going on
I have seen some companies sell discounted goods and put "Price includes discount" to make it crystal clear.
