Transfer of software licenses is an issue the courts will need to resolve, as copyrighted physical materials are covered by the Doctrine of First Sale, which says that the original purchaser may transfer the item. I thought it might be clarified in the AutoDesk case, but they settled this past Autumn.   In that case the Federal Court in Seattle in a preliminary ruling said that if you 'purchase' software, with no defined license term, you actually ARE purchasing it, regardless of what  the EULA says, and is thus covered by the Doctrine of First Sale.  Of course, the software in question was boxed copies of AutoCAD, not downloadable models.

Note; I'm not a Lawyer, and this is not intended as legal advice, but is for entertainment purposes only. Your mileage may vary.  Results may not be typical.

**Gareee,

**It is a product formerly sold at Rendo, but is no longer-that's what's 'old' about it.  It obviously was updated for DAZ..

Cheers,
Rod
