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? Zero One USA Erazem and company put a lot of work into the product. They decide how they want to sell it. In this case you are buying a contractual right of use, not a tangible product. If you agree to the license restrictions at point of purchase, to me at any rate you have a ethical obligation to comply with the rules. I don't care what arcane laws you can find to justify a different position. It may be - in some bent way "legal" in the USA, but it is unethical. And then people wonder why products like Flarm are kept form the US market. |

snip A Driver's license is a totally different issue and not related
here. Go buy MS and you can transfer the license /snip That is not true. MS operating system retail licenses (not to be confused with OEM licenses) require you to get an activation from MS, usually over the Internet. This license is not transferable. It enables you to move it from one PC to another but only by getting another activation from MS, which they are not obligated to provide if they feel you are abusing the license. OEM licenses are not transferable, period! 2NO |

I very well grasp that someone wants to sell you something that he does not have the right to sell. It is just not right to do so. Since you have an older version already, you can purchase an upgrade to the latest version at a substantially reduced price. Zero One USA |

Air tickets have the same restriction and always have (nothing to do
with security). They sell you and you only a ride on the plane. Don't believe me - try selling one! Mike |

In the US, Microsoft sells OEM licenses for its products that are tied to a
single PC. If the PC catches fire, you can't use the license on a replacement PC. If you want to be able to move the license from one computer to another, you need to by an end user license which is more money. If it is legal to limit the license to a single PC, why wouldn't it be legal to limit it to a single user? Mike Schumann "Jim Vincent" wrote in message . .. Plus, is this legal in the US to have a person specific license? IIRC, it breaches commerce and merchantability clauses. "Jim Vincent" wrote in message ... Why should I buy a new license when I can buy the license from a friend at a reduced cost? "Tuno" wrote in message oups.com... 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 -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Maybe you are right; let's test it. Buy the stuff
and the key, put it on your PC, and report what you have done to Microsoft. Game? At 20:54 09 May 2007, Jim Vincent wrote: 'Nyal Williams' wrote in message ...
