Complete uninstall of fcp 7 studio

Question

I would like to do a complete uninstall of Final Cut Pro 7 Studio. My intention is to give these install discs to a friend who can then install and register them without problems on the allotted desktop and laptop as provided in the licensing agreement. Is this possible? Please advise.
Thanks,
Jay

Hi Gary,
I appreciate your input. But I'm not confused. I know this is FCS 3 we're referring to, but different software titles have different licenses. Apple has this page listing the various licenses for their products. That there's more than one means the rules for each software title listed are different. So unless a person were to read through it, you wouldn't know what you can and can't do with a particular title. That it's not Adobe or Microsoft in this case is irrelevant. You still need to read it to find out how a transfer must be done.
For FCS3, registering does not authenticate the software, does not give proof of ownership does not provide the ability  obtain technical support. FCS3  installs and operates properly without registering.
Yes, I know that. I own it. I can't think of any Apple title that "phones home", as the Windows OS and Office do, to activate a new install. You just need to provide the serial number during installation.
To relinquish ownership of FCS 3 the application is removed form the sellers computer, documentaion and discs must be given to the new owner, that completes the legal transfer. Its up to the new owner whether he registers or not. All the new owner has to do is install the application, there is no need to register to be able to own, install and operate FCS 3.
Yes, but again, until reading the license, that statement would have been a guess. Before I could sell a copies of Macromedia FreeHand MX and Monaco Proof I had, I was required to fill out a transfer of ownership form. I'm just saying it varies from company to company and title to title.
Your question about ''one time permanent transfer' means a seller can only transfer the licence once to an other person - you cant transfer it again later to an other buyer, that would be theft.
Of course a second copy from you to someone else would be theft, but that wasn't the question. As it reads, does it mean:
1) Only the person who originally bought the software is allowed to transfer it to a second owner. And that owner can then not sell or give the software away themselves.
or
2) It's a poor way of saying whoever has the software (the original disks and documentation) can sell or give away the software once. Then that new owner can also do the same once.
I would have to believe the latter, but it can be taken either way.
