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.

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.

Some of us are cheapskates because we can't afford anything else.

I fly an $11,000 glider that I have owned for almost 10 years, Drive a
$1,500 Car.

Last year I paid...
$144 Insurance
$64 SSA Membership
$75 Annual
$10 State Registration
$550 for Glider Tows.
for a yearly total budget of about $843
I would love to have SeeYou but it costs almost 21% of my annual
soaring budget.

It only costs you that one time, Brian, like the money you spent on
your glider, which you forgot to include in your annual soaring
budget.

Of course, if you don't want the software that's fine, but to anyone
who feels the impulse to skirt the license issue, remember those folks
at Naviter have mouths to feed too, and they are not getting rich on
this product.

Get a proper job then

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

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?
