Logic Pro X on disc

I recently got Logic Pro X to install on my MacBook. And it's on a disc -- yet people are saying there was never a disc provided for Logic Pro X, but for some previous versions. It seems to be installing and downloading the additional sound library files okay, but since it is on a disc, could this be a pirated version of Logic? There are tons of listings for them on eBay, and I got mine for $35. They're also all shown in boxes too. I'm just worried that I got some sort of pirated or "fake" version and there might be some features missing.

MacBook Pro, iOS 11.2.1, null

Yes, you have a pirated version.

It will probably install and allow you to download all extra content. You won't be able to upgrade the Logic app itself though. Logic X is only legitimately available as a download from the app store.

You cannot get Logic Pro X on Disk. It’s downloaded from the App Store. Draw your own conclusion.

The extra content is all legitimately downloaded from Apple so you may as well leave that where it is if you've already downloaded it.

Okay thanks for reassuring me. Now should I clear out everything that the disc installed onto the Mac since it was pirated or should I leave those and let them be used by Logic once I reinstall it from the App store?
