Lattice anyway). -- Package registrations can be transfered from one owner to another, but only if the product licensing agreement allows it. If it does not state in writing there is no obligation on the part of the software vendor to transfer the license. If you are consdering or have purchased piece of software that you would like the registration transfered contact the software publisher directly. It they may be nice enough to transfer the registration anyway. I have seen som vendors whose licensing agreement allows transfers. I have also seen many more that forbid transfers. But most do not seem to state one way or another. -Jim- PS. I am one of those strange people that do read my licensing agreements. ***************************************************************************** * Jim Zepeda UUCP: ...!cs.utexas.edu!ut-emx!martian!rjz * * C.T.A.C.S. -- Central Texas Amiga Computer Society * * Any opinions are my own.

This question came up recently. Are software package registrations transferable ? IE. Say one of these people selling their Amiga sells their copy of Lattice as well. Can the new owner get the registration transfered into his/her name so that notifications of upgrades/etc. will be sent to the right place ? fred PS. if anyone who actually knows posts a response, could they email me a copy, as I don't have time to keep up with comp.sys.amiga lately, and I don't want to miss the answer (w.r.t. Lattice anyway).

Lattice anyway). > 1) Lattice allows transfer and sends out updates based on their records, not the original disk or manual cover. 2) For an upgrade or replacement disk, Electronic Arts usually wants back the original disk or cover of the manual depending on which product you are talking about. 3) A good portion of the of the other companies want the original disk back for the upgrade. (This includes games and commercial products.) I hope this helps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------- Robert M.
