License question 1

[KriszT]

I have a question about licensing.
Can my SolidWorks license be sold? Or is it illegal?

 

[Heckler]

To my knowledge a SWx license can not be transfered

Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience every time.

This is a license agreement and not an agreement for sale.

1.A. Grant of License. SolidWorks grants to you a nonexclusive nontransferable license to use the Software and the printed and/or electronic user documentation (the "Documentation") accompanying the Software in accordance with this Agreement.

I believe the licenses can be transferred in the case of company buyout, etc., but otherwise not. So, to my understanding, if I sold my business, the SolidWorks license would be included as part of the deal.

Check with your VAR if in doubt.

I have been involved in several acquisitions, and each time the CAD licenses went over to the "new" company, no problem. As for selling licenses, VAR's are authorized to do that; end users are not.
