Seeking advice: buying russian software license

[15js3idani]

Hey everyone!
I'm looking to purchase a license for a Russian digital product directly from Russia, but I'm in Europe and unsure about the payment process. Has anyone here gone through this and can share some advice?

Many software sellers accept cryptocurrency or worldwide cards. Which software?

I think, you should go to site of the software vendor, and ask them: "Can I buying your software, from the [you country] country?".
Alternatives:
1. Try to use a piracy version.
2. If it's a web-application, buying access from some drops.

Not many ways, basically the only direct one is cryptocurrency if the seller accepts it. Any kind of credit card - issued locally (EU), virtual, pre-paid will fail as Russia electronic payment system
has been disconnected from EU/US, only Swift is left but not worthy due to high commission rates (and no privacy, seller will see your IBAN bank address, not recommended).
Even credit cards by VISA/MC issued outside EU/US would fail.
Indirect ways (like buying and giving Amazon gift cards) I have no experience with, and all of them are susceptible to scam.

there are some Russian merchants that have a proxy company in Europe or not sanctioned CIS countries and thus could accept european cards, for example plati.ru is "registered" in Armenia.
you should check if the software is listed on the online merchants.
