    Activating pre-owned Autocad LT

    Hi,

     

    I'm sure this is a problem and question that has come up a number of time in the past, but I like to know if there is a solution to the problem.

     

    Recently I bought a number of boxes of 2006, 2007 and 2008 Autocad LT with varying licenses from single seat to 5 seat. I have now discovered that the person I bought them from at the auction can not tell me who previously owned the software and therefore I can not request them to transfer the licenses to me.

     

    My question is, if I re-sell the software, can I or the new buyer go about freeing the old licenses so that they can activate the software?

     

    Or I have just spent 100s on software that is of zero use to any one?

     

    Any insight and solutions to this would be a of great help and free me from this headache.

     

    Regards,

     

    Mike.

    I appear to be learning this from previous posts.

     

    Even though it would appear that the laws in the EU state I can resell software, Autodesk doesn't agree.

     

    Comes down to making more money so guess I'm screwed.

     

    Least now I know to stay well clear of anything by Autodesk.
