What is the situation with regards to buying used versions of FrameMaker?

[Scott Prentice]

Once a license has been upgraded, it's no longer able to be transferred, 
and would not be a legal license.

If you can find a "new in box" or better yet "unopened" .. I'd think 
that's probably fine. I doubt seriously that anyone is using FrameMaker 
a a lure to install viruses. Not likely worth the effort.

I'd avoid FM9 .. but FM8, 10, or 11 should be good.
