License transfer / migration

Hello to all,
did any one know if i have the rights to give my assistant my old SVP 11 License for XMas? :-)
Is there a way to change the owner or something? Or did she must use my Registration Form when she is installing or so?

Thanks and Regards

I have heard that SCS Customer Service can transfer the license for you. Don't forget about DVD-A unless you need all of your registered copies of that : )

Usually the way it works with software is you buy a licence for a product. Then you upgrade your licence to use the newest product, but it is still the same one licence. You can't sell part of your licence.IE: you buy Vegas 9 new. You upgrade the version 9 license to include version 12. Now your licence includes both versions 9 and 12. They are not separate.
Sony might be different but I doubt it. Otherwise, anytime a user upgrades, they potentially are giving another licence away at upgrade pricing.

Have a look at this thread:

I followed the advice last month and the licence was transferred within a couple of hours of sending the request.

Remember to give the name and email address of the person you are transferring the licence to.

This subject comes up once or twice a year and perhaps it would help if SCS put a sticky on the forum(s) to clarify.

Over the years I have transferred several of my SCS products after upgrading to a newer version. The process is relatively simple and permitted by SCS, almost encouraged. I would add that I have never sold any of these products but given them away, though selling is permitted.
