QUESTION: Re: My XWD License When I upgrade to XaraXtremePro5

Can I pass my license for XWD license onto a co-worker?

If so how?

I think there was some sort limitation to re-installs. Can this be reset when the license is passed over to a new "owner"?

If the Xara EULA found in the Web Designer help file isn't clear, I really think that you'd be better off asking Xara directly.

..and telling us what they say!

What's your point Paul :confused:

I'm just curious if the licence can be passed on. Nothing more than that.

Item 3 seems to be pretty clear on passing on the licence to another person ...

It would seem to me that if you use your WD license to upgrade, you would need to retain the WD license to keep the upgrade valid.

I don't think the intent is to allow discounts on upgrades and then have people give away the old copies. I think it's referring to you buying a product that isn't an upgrade and then giving it away.

A lot of the EULA's cover this specific issue. However, only XARA could answer this for sure.

We are not buying an "Upgrade" we are buying a full version at a discounted price since we are already Xara customers. There is a difference.

Xara is saying upgrade. I suppose because web designer is pretty much included in XX5

Again, as mentioned in post#3
If the Xara EULA found in the Web Designer help file isn't clear, contact Xara directly.
Only Xara sales will be able to answer further questions regarding accounts and software licensing, it's a matter which only Xara can sort out.
