I'm pretty sure your software will work but because it's not registered to your name, you probably won't have the benefits that come with a registered version. I'm not certain about this, but I think you can get that transferred to you by the seller though? It may even be a necessity because if not, the guy can install it on his computer, register it, make a copy on CD and then resell the original so it's like he gets a copy of the software for free and I doubt it's very legal...
Edited to add that I'm really not sure about what I wrote there, hopefully someone who knows more will post here, but to me, it makes sense that the license would have to be transferred or else it would be too easy for people to just buy a software, register it and then sell the CD while they get to keep the registered version...
