'Apparently you did not read the licensing agreement

You are supposed to erase it before you sell or give

you paid for the privilege of using it; you bought

there.


This is fine with me...that is a standard EULA. As part of the sale, he
would remove SeeYou from his PC. Since he did not receive a physical disc
(it is a download), he would give me the license key specific to one user.




Jim,



There is _NO WAY_ that they can be sure that the "seller" has removed it completely from his system. The only true licensing schemes that work are some _very_ onerous online licensing schemes, dongles, etc. that I can assure you, you _really_ don't want to get into.... (read: Pain In The Butt).



It is a good program, worth every penny. If you want to use it, pay them. Or don't use it. Your choice. Simple as that.

I already have the older version. What you're not grasping is someone wants to sell their copy to me. They recoup some of their expense, and I save a little money. A well designed software easily tracks the number of users and licensees.
