Questions on buying / selling licenses

[Sasha_B]

Ive got some questions on how the "second hand" market for Vectorworks licenses work ?

 

- If I am based in the UK can i buy a license from anywhere, or must it be from a UK seller ? 

 

- How does the transfer process work, is it informal eg. send payment via paypal, receive serial number by email or dose a distributor act as a broker ? 

 

- If a distributor acts as a broker what costs are involved ? 

 

- Are there any limits on upgrading "second hand" licenses further ? eg. taking a 2018 license to 2019. Or taking a fundamentals license to architect.

 

- Are all licenses serial number, web activated ? 

 

- What mechanisms are there in place to stop the original seller still using the serial number after the sale ?

- Also can a license be downgraded eg. can a 2018 license holder get a 2016 serial number if required.

 

- Are licenses both Mac and PC compatible ?

Im searching the web to see if its cheaper to buy in US or UK as against Australia and its seems prices are nearly the same?

it doesnt seem like there are many licenses for sale? and not many people talking about it!
