[DUG] Delphi 3 Upgrade

[Richard Vowles]

The official line, no matter what John says, is that licenses are *not*
transferrable - it says so right there in the license file - go read it for
yourself. The argument has been the cost of the overheard of dealing with
transferred licenses and tracking licenses. What Paul may be confusing me
with saying is that inter-company transfers are no problem, and when you
have a product that has never been licensed you are effectively acting as a
reseller, which is also not generally a problem (although the license does
actually prohibit this as well).

CodeGear generally will transfer the licenses for companies who have been
purchased or merged with other companies as long as they fill in all the
paper work. The last time it happened, it took around two months.

So - if you are going to find a second hand copy on TradeMe - make sure it
hasn't been registered already. The one and only time we did that for
someone who purchased on ebay it was because they had been shafted.
