Microsoft has changed its transfer terms and conditions. Does this mean companies cannot now purchase pre-owned Open licences?
No. The changes made to the volume licence agreement and Notice of transfer forms since October 2007 cannot legally prevent the transfer of ownership and have only restricted the transfer of the Licence Agreement / Product Use Rights (LA / PUR) under certain conditions. In any case, subsequent changes cannot ever be backdated and so will not be able to affect licences purchased prior to the original purchase date. Furthermore, new processes have been developed by Discount-Licensing.com in order to ensure the supply of pre-owned Microsoft volume licences will continue indefinitely. The pre-owned Microsoft licence market is here to stay and will continue to offer businesses legitimate savings for many years to come.
