    Hi all,

    I'm thinking about getting rid of all my NI hardware and software. If I was to do this, do I simply email NI and say I have X, Y, Z for sale, de-register the serials and then I can sell everything or is it going to be a problem with crossgrade packages and/or other licensing issues?

    All of the information you need to transfer a license is here. You simply select the product you want to transfer the license for, put in the request, and send the link to the new owner.

    It can get hairy for things like crossgrades. Someone would have to either buy your base product and all the corresponding upgrades from you, or buy with the understanding there are caveats (ie, if someone buys a Komplete 13 upgrade from you and no base product, they should know they need a base product to upgrade from).

    I've sold tons of individual licenses I had extras for, and. it's always been smooth.

    Simple question, not so simple answer.

    It is no problém to transfer NI SW and HW. You may even transfer individual upgrades/crossgrades (they are not tied to underliing licences forever).
    But if you transfer upgrade/update/crossgrade the person to whom it is transferred must have underlliing Product (may be yours, or his own).

    To transfer SW or HW you have to ask NI for Transfer ID.
