SeeYou Single Person License

I was going to buy a copy of SeeYou from a friend since he uses Strepla for
his flight reviews. He contacted SeeYou, and they told him that the license
was specific to him only. My understanding of the US Uniform Commercial
Code does not allow for single user restraints down to a specific user, it
only allows for constrains as to the quantity of users. For the legal types
out there, what is the legality of designating a license to a specific
person?

Does it matter? (What are you going to do, sue Naviter?!) Bend over,
grab your ankles and buy a new license. It's a wonderful product and
worth every penny.

2NO

Why should I buy a new license when I can buy the license from a friend at a
reduced cost?

1 - Because thats what the original purchaser agreed to when he
purchased the product

2 - Because the product is developed and sold under European law. Dont
like it dont buy it!

Why are glider pilots such cheapskates? - they'll spend 100k on a ship
and then baulk at spending 10, 20 or 50 on some minor piece of
equipment.

Plus, is this legal in the US to have a person specific license? IIRC, it
breaches commerce and merchantability clauses.

Because he doesn't own the software. He only has a license to use it
and that license has conditions on it.



From SeeYou's point of view, how can they know that your friend is not
still using it after he has "sold" the license to you?

And that license, if selling in the US, has to comply with US law.

Regarding the license on his version, there is no way of transferring a license. The key might allow 1-2 installs only.

He emailed them.

Does European law allow for a specified user? That means that if you want
to sell it, you can't. Is that the way you prefer your purchases? Would
you buy a car if you knew you could not sell it?

We're not cheapskates, we're smart.

'Apparently you did not read the licensing agreement
for your Microsoft software; it has the same provisions.
You are supposed to erase it before you sell or give
away your computer. You did not buy the software;
you paid for the privilege of using it; you bought
the disc it came on, but you rented the software encoded
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.
