Selling Software Programs- Whats generally involved?

Post by horacesqueeze » Thu Nov 04, 2004 11:13 am

Hey all,
I have come to the conclusion that Cakewalk SL 2.0 is not what I need in terms of a program. I am looking to sell it to someone- so what is involved? Do I have to have the person re-register it like Digidesign does? I can find no mention of it nor any paperwork pertaining to it on their site (not to mention their search function would not work)
Any one with any knowledge or experience to share?

Thanks in advance,
Miles

Cakewalk's licensing agreement states you can't resell it. Sad but true.

Oh man!
I guess I will have to offer it up for the equal value in malt liquor and Tai hookers.
Or I could just tell the person all the relevant details, I suppose.

The "no reselling" thing is quite simply RETARDED!

I think that you should re-sell it anyway. What do you have to lose. I don't think they would come after you for doing so.

only problem is the buyer wont be able to register it. totally stupid. I'd call cakewalk and ask them about it. You might be able to buy the new upgrade and sell that, NIB.

curious, what about sonar are you finding lacking?

Ok,
I get to wear the stupid hat for a minute. I guess this is karma for calling a policy RETARDED but I am actually using Cubase SL (I was talking to a friend about cakewalk not a minute before posting the initial post!!

Any other sugestions? Where do you think the best place to sell it would be (here? Ebay? anywhere else?)
