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).<br>
<br>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.<br><br>
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.<br><br>

A few years ago I purchased a copy of Delphi 6 Pro from someone in the US and had no problems re-registering it with Borland.<br>

Dear Richard,<br>
You have posted here in past years that licenses can be arranged to be transfered if it is clear they have not been used for upgrades, or a company/individual is going rigth out of Delphi, or purchased too many licenses in the past.<br>
