Dear all,
This would put codegear/what ever it now is purchase of thir products in a
new light if legitimate reselling transfering of licenses is not possible.
For such database wizs its hard to imagine why the tracking costs of

and subsequently upgrade it to Delphi 5, then I can't legally sell Delphi 3
because it is the ownership of it that I had the right to
Re transferring of licences:
I am assuming that whatever is written in licence agreements - and from
people's comments that seems also open to interpretation - that in practice
Borland/Codegear Embarcadero would take a pragmatic viewpoint.
The comment that was made before seems to me to be
The EULA is irrelevant if it contradicts fair-use rights allowed in

The official line, no matter what John says, is that licenses are *not*
transferrable - it says so right there in the license file - go read it for
yourself. The argument has been the cost of the overheard of dealing with
transferred licenses and tracking licenses. What Paul may be confusing me

Hi Colin,
You cannot purchase a second hand copy of Delphi, licenses are
non-transferable.
