Non-transferability is a standard in software licenses. If you do transfer a program you are often required to ask the company for permission and official forms. I hated 3dStudio so much that I sold it to a friend. (I'd paid $3000, but it kept throwing me back into DOS as though I was a pirate because the damned dongle argued with my printer... and there was NO customer service... they refused to help me.) They sent me the paperwork to transfer it, I filled out the forms saying that all copies were deleted from my system, and provided the name and address of the new owner... who was now eligible for upgrade pricing and on their mailing list. Maya, BTW is much worse. You get the license for that one computer. If you upgrade or change your system you need to transfer the license and they charge $1000 for the privilege. One of my colleagues had a computer go belly-up on her and even with evidence of a dead machine, she still had to pay them. :pffft: As noted above, many of the Poser items purchased are low-priced and highly specialized. Suppose that I bought a pirate ship for a particular rendering... and then just passed it on because I didn't need it anymore? And that person used it once and passed it on? The merchant would be losing maney and we'd be no better than the warez kiddies swapping music after they listened to it once. I'd rather have low prices and a limited license. Carolly
