Question about selling Software

[clemso]

Can I sell software that i bought new and registered. Would it work for the buyer, even though its registered to me?

Hmmm,

Good thing you're checking into this first.

I don't know for sure, but to me it smells technically illegal.

I think once software is registered, that's it.

The only thing you can do is sell it and make sure the buyer does not try registering it ... But they might not be able to install it without registration.

Probably will depend on what software you have.

Its Macspeech dictate, if they can't use it, I may as well keep it, but not worth me getting a neg for.

If you're really interested, try downloading it on a friends computer and see if it installs without registration.

If it does install without registation, if I were you i'd try selling it to a friend -- somebody you know and trust.

This way you can trust them to never try registering it.

I once borrowed a friends software and loaded it on my computer. I could only activate it once I went online and bought a new activation code. I couldnt use the one that came with it because it had already been used. The activation code was the same price the software would have been if I would have went and bought it in the store.
