Transfering Licenses - Student to Commercial to New Owner?

I understand that licnses are not transferable if they are student/teacher versions.
Here is my situation:
I have originally bought a copy of a Adobe design suite at the student/teacher price. Since then I have moved on from my student/teacher elegibility and have upgraded to newer commercial versions.
QUESTION: Is the license elegible for transfer now that I have moved on?
Basically my conclusion is that if I ever plan to start or sell a business I should never, under any situation, buy a student version regardless of immediate gains by taking advantage of sturdent/teacher pricing. If I sell a computer with programs, forget it because ONLY the upgrade is transferable? Meaning the tranferee must have a commercial copy in order to take advantage of the transferable upgrade only. --- If the tranferee does not have a commercial version, the sale and value is pointless because ownership is thrown out the window because I bought a student copy.
Whats going on? Am I stupid or is this correct? How does this work and what are any and all caveats? I'm a bit new to this. Especially Adobe's convoluted pricing schemes that oddly favor bathroom janitors and wasteful school administrators over folks who legitimately need Adobe software to make a living.

What version was the student version? What version did you upgrade to?

Is license upgraded from Student to Commercial transferable?

Hello.
I want to buy Student and Teacher CS6 license. I am aware, they are available for commercial work, but not transferable.
When CS7 comes out, after upgrading my license, will I receive full commercial, transferable license, that wont be market as "student" in any way?
I value the option to sell my license if somehow I would no longer have need for certain software (it alleviates the risk of the purchase). That would be great if it is the case, because cost of my Student license will somehow go toward cost of my commercial license.
Best regards,
Filip
BTW. I live in Europe, if it matters

No, because any Adobe upgrade is contingent on owning/keeping the previous version you upgraded from (having them both, they go together) — and that previous version in your case is an education edition that was purchased at a large discount and so is not transferrable...
This is the case no matter where you are in the world.

Transferring registration information to new owner?

Is there a quick and easy way of transferring the license ownership of one user to another? I cannot use my copy of Final Cut Express due to an underperforming Macbook. I've already registered it but want to transfer ownership. How does one do this with an Apple product?

To begin with, you don't have to register it and registering gives you no benefits.
However, if the new owner wishes to register, all they do is hit the registration button and they will become the newly registered owner. The previous owner's registration will be deleted as it is overwritten by the new one.

selling macbook Pro 2011. It came with Lion, I upgraded to mountain Lion and Mavericks. Can license be transfer to new owner? how?

Good question now that Mavericks is free to all.
It used to be - and is probably still the case - that to comply with the license you should erase and re-install the OS that came pre-installed on the Mac when new. If there were restore disks they needed to be passed on with the Mac.
I'm happy to be corrected on this by someone who's more au fait with the legalese, but an upgraded OS is tied to an AppleID whereas the original OS is tied to the computer, not an AppleID.
My guess is, that if you launched the Recovery HD, erased the drive using Disk Utility and re-installed the OS, Lion would be installed.
Be interesting to see what others say.

Transferring applecare to new owner

How do I transfer Applecare (MBP is less than 1 yr old) and Applecare was bought with new MPB) to new owner who bought MBP ?
Please advise

From the applecare terms and conditions:

CS4 student licensing restrictions on commercial use?

I have a question concerning using a student licensed CS4 for commercial purposes after one is out of school. I've just spent several hours researching this topic and talking to a service representative via the chat only to increase my confusion. Some posts say yes, some say no, some say no only to non-US users, some seem to say yes to education editions but no to student licensing versions (if there is a difference?), and the rep I talked to said no.
So, to be safe, I'm asking here: can I use my Student Licensing CS4 Design Standard version to do commercial work with after I'm out of school? I bought it while in college legitimately, its the kind that you have to visit the student licensing web page on adobe.com in order to get the serial number for. However, I have seen multiple conflicting answers on the forums concerning this version. I do not know if "Student License" versions are the same as "Student Edition" versions, or "Education Edition" versions, or "Teacher Edition" versions, or if any of those last three are even actual versions.
To be clear, the word "edition" does not appear at all on my CS4 Student Licensing package. The package cover art has a white background with a vertical line in the middle of it that is made up of red gradients.
This question is from someone who both currently lives in, and bought the Student Licensing version of CS4 in, the United States. (2009)
Thank you for your help!

There are no restrictions against you using your student-licensed version of CS4 (either any of the suites or individual programs) for commercial work other than that you may not sell or otherwise transfer your license to anyone else.

Transferring AppleCare to a new owner

I purchased an MBP from the Apple store around August when my state held a tax holiday, but due to indecision ended up not using the product at all. I know this is going to sound pretty weird, but it's sitting in my home sealed in its original packaging. I'm considering selling it on eBay, and I'm wondering if the new owner will have just one half of the original one year of Apple Care, or if there's a way for them to have a full year since the computer is technically new. Thanks.

Applecare starts from the date of purchase, not from the date that the box is opened.
Ciao.

Transferring boxed Windows 7 retail license from dead computer to new computer

The old computer died so a new one was built. I have the retail Windows 7 license from the dead hardware, will the license automatically transfer to the new machine if I install Win7 from that DVD and use that serial number?

Yes, the only issue is activation. Depending on when it was last done, online activation may just sail through. If not, there should be no problem activating by phone. As long as it is really a retail version and being used on only one computer, you won't
have any problem.

Transferring an iPad app to a new user

I gave a relative my original iPad. I erased it and blanked it all out.
What I'd like to do now is give the new owner one or more of my apps that I no longer use on my new iPad. The problem is compounded because the old app is no longer in the iTunes store, so I can't just give them a gift certificate to purchase it on their account.
Can I just copy the app file over? As I said, it's completely deprecated app. I don't use it, and it isn't even available in the store.
The problem arises because the original iPad won't run iOS 6. I have a password manager that works on 5, but it isn't in the store. So the new owner can't run it all all, even though he has the desktop version (properly licensed).
I NEVER pirate software, but I have to say that preventing me from transferring things I own, even if only a license, is rather lame. I realize that's in the EULA, but it makes deprecated iPads increasingly useless unless (1) you know to prevent iTunes' updates from overwriting your older apps and (2) you never sell or give it away, since that makes (1) irrelevant since the new owner can't get the old apps. Does the license apply to an app that is no longer in the Store?
Work arounds?

It is illegal to do that. Your relative needs to purchase his/her own apps under his/her Apple ID. There is a way to sort of circumnavigate this requirement. Substitute yourself and the relative for the husband and wife:
Sharing Stuff From Different iTunes Accounts (or Computers)
Here's how to do so using different computers:
Transfer what content you want to the separate iTunes library on each computer. To transfer content from your library to another library do the following. We'll assume this is between husband and wife separate accounts and different Apple IDs.
Launch iTunes under your wife's login;
Sign her out of iTunes, then you sign in;
Select iTunes -> Preferences -> Devices -> Disable auto-sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected;
Connect your device, DO NOT SYNC;
Select Store -> Authorize this Computer (only have to do this once);
Select File -> Transfer Purchases (all of the purchased content on your phone will be transferred to your wife's library);
When complete eject your device, sign out of iTunes, sign your wife back in.
You can now sync whatever content you want to your wife's phone. Just remember all updates to apps obtained using your account must be done while signed in using your account: sign wife out, you sign in, update apps, you sign out, sign wife in, sync her phone.
This way you can share content (permitted under the EUSLA) and still maintain your separate logins. Do the same on your computer if you want to share content from your wife's library.
Just load whatever content you want to share on each others phones, transfer the content, then delete it from the respective phone if you don't want to keep it there.

How do I transfer registration to new owner ?

I am selling my powerbook and need to know how to transfer the registration to the new owner as well as the Quickbooks NUE registration.
Any help will be apreciated.

Unless you are transferring an APP with your PowerBook, there is nothing you need to do. Of course, it would be a courtesy to the new owner to hand over the original bill of sale/receipt for the PowerBook, but the warranty is dependent on the date of first sale which is attached to the serial number on the machine and not to the machine's original owner.
If you have an APP, you would need to follow the steps delineated in paragraph 6 of the Terms and Conditions:
6. Transfer of Plan
You may transfer this Plan to a new owner of the Covered Equipment by sending or faxing notice of transfer to AppleCare Administration, P.O. Box 149125, Austin, TX 78714–9125, U.S. (fax number 512–674–8125). You must provide the Plan Agreement Number, the serial numbers of the Covered Equipment being transferred, proof of purchase of the Plan, and the name, address, telephone number and email address of the new owner.
You would have to read the EULAs for any third-party software to learn how to transfer those items to a new owner.

Selling PSE 8... New Owner Issues?

Ever since I got Lightroom 3 I found it does what I need so...
what issues are there if I sell my PSE 8 to someone? The new owner can use the license key, yes?
Is the new owner somehow limited?
Thank-you

There is a formal process but not everyone uses it.
Your buyer may be happy with an informal purchase.

If you are asking about AppleCare and if that is transferable, the answer is apparently yes for new purchases at this time (not sure if this same policy was in place when your computer was originally purchased):
"With Transfer of Covered Equipment to New Owner. Subject to the restrictions set forth below, you may make a one-time permanent transfer of all of your rights under the Plan to another party, provided that: (a) the transfer includes the original Proof of Purchase, the Plan's Confirmation and all of the Plan's packaging material, including printed materials and these Terms and Conditions; (b) you notify Apple of the transfer by sending, faxing or e-mailing notice of transfer to Apple Inc., ATTN: Agreement Administration, MS: 217AC, 2511 Laguna Blvd, Elk Grove, CA 95758, U.S., fax number 916-405-3655 or [email protected], respectively; and (c) the party receiving the Plan accepts the Terms and Conditions of the Plan. When notifying Apple of the transfer of the Plan, you must provide the Plan Agreement Number, the serial number of the Covered Equipment being transferred and the name, address, telephone number and email address of the new owner."

When selling an apple product with active applecare, how do you transfer to new owner?

I am planning to sell my iPad 2 with current applecare thru December 4, 2013. How do I transfer it to the new owners name? Or do they just register it under their own AppleID using the product serial number?? I have all receipts.

Call Apple support, ask to speak with someone in AppleCare Plan Adminstration, and they should be able you. Transferring the plan isn't strictly necessary, but it could avoid potential issues should the purchaser ever need service.
Regards.
