Release 14

I'm not sure if this is the right group for this question, but does anyone
know what you can and can't do with your old versions of AutoCAD? I've got a
friend that has asked me to give him my R14 version so that he can work on
it at home. He works for a manufacturing plant that uses ACAD 2000, but they
won't let him take a copy home. I'm on ADT 3.0 now, and of course I have
Release 14 sitting on a shelf collecting dust. Just what is the policy on
this - can I give it to him?

Steve,
it's illegal and against your current Acad license agreement to even have
the old software let alone give it to someone else. When you upgrade you
have 90 days to destroy the older version of your AutoCAD...think about
this, you give your R14 to your friend, who gives it to someone else, who
makes 500 copies of it and pirates it all over the place...guess who's
serial number is on all of the pirated copies. Don't do it...

Why doesn't his job let him take his copy home to install on his home
machine? The EULA is quite clear on this,
(Taken from the r2000 newsgroup)
"You many install and use a second copy of the Software on the hard disk of
a
second computer you may have, provided that:
1) the additional copy is used only by you
2) only one of the Software copies is in use at any one time at any one
location
3) the second copy of the Software is used exclusively with the copy
protection device (if any) supplied with the Software.

This policy does not allow customers the option of making a copy of software
for use on an additional computer at their company. Operating one product on
two different computers at the same location would constitute a violation of
the terms of Autodesk's License Agreement.

Policy Exception
This policy does not apply to Educational or Student software, which cannot
be used concurrently."
My work was not going to let me take a copy home until I showed them this.
How is one supposed to take work home or to continue to learn their software
without having it at home?

No - I wasn't planning on giving it to him. I just wanted to know what the
official policy is so I could show him that. He has people telling him it is
okay. What about him taking his employer's copy home to do work? I know that
is up to them, but what is Autodesk's official policy on that?

The license allows for the eployer to let the employee install a version
at home provided it is only used with work given by the employer. So it
is legal as long as he doesn't use it to moonlight on other jobs.

Additional Installation: Except with Educational, Student and Evaluation
versions, you may make a second copy of the Software on the hard disk of a
second computer you may have provided that (1) the original and second
copies are used only by the same person; (2) the second copy is installed
and used only on a laptop computer, home computer, or other non-server
computer away from your usual work location for the purpose of enabling you
to perform work while away from your usual work location; (3) only one of
the Software copies is in use at any one time; (4) the second copy of the
Software is used exclusively with the copy protection device (if any)
supplied with the Software, and (5) the Software is not licensed and/or
labeled as an Educational version or Student version.


Where does it say 'no-moonlighting' ??
Just curious.

I believe that the EULA also restricts second installs of the network
licensed version.

you can't transfer a license to the employee. Only why AutoDesk will allow
this is if one company buys out another.

When you buy software, you don't own it. You have just the right to use it.

Also, if you've upgraded, there is no longer a valid r14 license to sell.
When you upgrade you void the previous license. Now, if you paid full
prioce for the new license, you would still have a valid r14 license. But,
as Andrew points out, they are not transferable.

Full copy of both:
a Yes
b NO. The only way that you can sell autodesk software (afaik) is if the owner of the software is completely purchased by another
entity.
c Sure

Upgrade
a I think that the "grace" period has been extended, but essentially yes.
b Yes
c Sure

That's MY interpretation

For what it's worth, I concur with Jason's interpretation, but neither one
of us work for AutoDesk (unless Jason has changed jobs recently). Also, as
I understand it, it is theoretically possible to sell a license without
selling the whole company that owns the license, if you have the express
written permission of Autodesk. But I think that you would need to give
them some compelling reason to allow you to do that.
