  • Legal to sell old FC studio stuff?

    Posted by Kent Beeson on October 3, 2009 at 2:58 am

    So can I sell my FC studio 2 box with all things in it if I’ve upgraded to FC Studio 3? Is there a license problem in selling my FC studio 2 items?

    Thanks

    Kent,

    If you purchased the upgrade package of FCS3 you cannot legally sell FCS2 to another user. On the other hand, if you purchased the full FCS3 package, not the upgrade, you could.

    Does this make sense?

    Right.
    in the moment you sell the FCS2 you are not legally entitled to use the upgrade.

    Makes sense, but not money 🙂 So what does one do with the old stuff? At what point is it legal to sell old software if one continually upgrades as the new one comes out?

    Thanks

    [Kent Beeson] “So what does one do with the old stuff? “
    if you upgrade, you can not consider your FC2 as old stuff. is just a piece of FCS3.
    Apart, the guy who will buy it won’t have the right to upgrade.

    Kent,

    If you need the dough and want to do something illegal to get it, just go rob a bank. It’s much more lucrative than selling your old Apple software, and what’s the worst that could happen anyway? So, you get caught and get sentenced to 20-years… Big deal, you’ll probably only have to do 10 of those years, and you’ll probably have a hot date every night for the entire duration. His name might be Big Bubba or something like that, but he’ll probably treat you really well.

    Big Bubba and his friends might be willing to buy your software from you to while you’re in the big house. You may come out ahead…and from behind.

    During which time the government will provide you with free health care. So it’s win-win!

    Door stop or boat anchor. I have a boatload of old software that is obsolete, that’s just the way it is. Not to mention hardware, for instance, I can’t put Snow Leopard or FC Studio on my 3 year old G5. Go figure.
