The principle "locked to my license" is quite simple. It means that items you purchased are locked to a Vue license directly. That explains directly that they can NOT work in trial versions - and especially not in versions owned by somebody else. The "somebody else" can be you of course too, when you have more than one account at e-on, as for example I have it (to separate my business activities from my private ones).

Special cases are upgrades. As long as they go back to one root (one license you have purchased originally and then upgraded by buying upgrades, then the lock to the original license will still work. If you bought a complete new license instead, then not - as long as you have not registered this new license at e-on and as long as you have not re-downloaded the content then so that the lock knows about the new license. What people do not understand, the case "switching from the Artist line (Pioneer, Esprit, Studio, Complete) to the Pro Line (or vice versa) in NOT an upgrade and therefore the content will not work directly in these new licenses. As said above, these new licenses need to be registered and activated first, then the content needs to be re-downloaded, THEN the content will work there too.

With the Legacy Content Compatibility Keys, the new method in the new versions, all this becomes a lot easier of course. No re-downloads anymore. And btw, as far as I know, no "locked to a license" in the new versions anymore, something people easily do oversee.
