- qayxc 6y agoSources, please. reality says otherwise: https://www.dr-bahr.com/news/verkauf-eines-nicht-aktivierten-lizenzschluessels-einer-software-rechtmaessig.html https://www.dr-bahr.com/news/verkauf-eines-nicht-aktivierten... Why is it that people still don't understand the difference between selling software licenses and using said licenses? The decision was explicitly about non-activated licences and didn't include the right to continue using a license of a sold product. EuGH C128/11 explicitly states that you have to delete/invalidate any copy of used software that you sell. The Vergabekammer Münster Az. VK 1-2/16 doesn't disagree wih that ruling either and neither do BGH Rs. I ZR 129/08 and Az. I ZR 8/13, which simply state that reselling volume licences is allowed. Nowhere was a ruling made that didn't require uninstalling and deleting existing installations after resale.
- pulse7 6y agoOK, but in this case you can still "resell your copy of Windows binary code" - which you didn't use... And this is not permitted in the USA, while it is permitted in Germany...
