I presume it's going to be done through iLok, yes? In which it's just local activating/deactivating through the iLok app between computers, and a selling fee of $25 if you're transferring it to someone else.
That's often how it's done, yes, but my question was about an official response from Fractal, since it's ultimately up to them.
Someone started a thread on TOP about this and apparently in the EULA it says it's non-transferable.
That just means that you're not entitled to transfer the license yourself. Almost all EULA's have that. Most companies have a policy about doing the transfer for you for a fee, but it's usually an explicit policy that they make publicly known. Not a big deal, but I would expect Fractal to have a ready answer to a question like that.
I see, hopefully they can clarify. Not that I'm that worried about it, but it is something to consider. If you buy the hardware, you can easily re-sell it. If you just buy one or two packs, maybe it's not that big of a deal, but if you buy a bunch of collections, it could potentially start to get into hardware territory cost wise and then not having any resale value might start to be a concern.

True. But there are a couple weapons grade bellends with no sense of humor here too. All forums end up with a few.

I'd have to run it by the legal guys but I think you can transfer the license via iLok. The EULA means you can't transfer the license without going through iLok.
Some dink on TOP is making a big deal about nothing. He's been banned from our forum probably 10 times, if not more. He keeps signing up with a new alt, plays nice for a few days and then starts his usual dickhead crap.

I had a good laugh reading that TOP thread last night. My first thought was…. You guys sell and trade licenses? You don’t just buy plugins and have a library of shame, wow 
I’ve bought licenses off other people but I don’t think I’ve ever sold one. Totally get that I might be the anomaly here but it’s a weird thing to spam pages and pages on.

Unfortunately there are a lot of unhappy people in the world. Some of them use the internet to vent their frustration by attacking other people or entities.
There have always been people like this, sociopaths if you will. The internet has given them the means to lash out on a much wider swath.
Me, I'm just happy to be alive. One day you think you're staring death in the face and then fate kicks him to the curb. Count your blessings and be happy for what you have.

As a fellow death defier, I feel you. I'm glad you're here and glad you're all here! Very cool people in these communities.

Yeah, I get not all plugins are cheap, but I’ve never really thought of, nor desired to go through the effort of selling a plugin.
To be honest with you, it's not something that I would have thought of. I didn't even realize it's something people did. I don't have a ton of experience with them though.

I’ve bought some stuff off of knobcloud. If I ever did it I’d use a site like that
I used to have a bunch of film post-production editing/sound design suites. Each had the same...
Computer
PT system
Mixer
Monitors
etc...
And of course... iLoks with identical licenses.... expanded further in sound design suites.
Although paid for many times over, was still nice to be able to sell 8 Soundtoys bundles, for example, just the same as selling 8 mixers, monitor pairs etc.
LOVES me some Soundtoys... and while I still have four rooms and licenses... those other 8 would have drove me a little batty.
Some companies do not allow you to sell them. I believe Native UA plugins cannot be sold...period. Their UAD-2 (DSP) plugins... you can move (sell) them... but ONLY with hardware. And even then... it needs to be ALL of the plugins in the system... or none.
Sorry... random ramblings... on/off topic-ish.

Having never played the majority of Fender amps IRL, I was quite surprised with how much dirt is on them. I just figured everything was a high-headroom deal minus the Bassman, which I also didn't think got as dirty as it did. Totally blew my mind how much dirt you can get, especially hitting the input harder, and usable dirt, not the flubby shit.
