    Your request leads to an obvious question. As Apple is no longer selling or supporting FCP 7 / Studio 3, can one of us “owners” sell copies of our software along with the serial numbers to a third party? Just askin’

    Yes you can. I don’t know the details with Apple, but I’ve sold tons of adobe software on eBay and transferred the serials to the new owner. Adobe has a transfer of license form and you have to get a case number, etc. It’s a little convoluted, but it works.

    I would assume eBay still has FCS 3 copies. FCP 7 is/was never available as a standalone product.

    Thanks for this, Bret. My question was probably not well stated. What I wanted to explore was the notion of not transferring my license and software, but rather keeping my software and merely letting others use it, too, or buy a copy from me along with the serial number. Clearly this would be illegal (and may still be) if Apple was still marketing Final Cut Pro 7. Again, just wonderin’

    Couldn’t be more illegal.
