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

**jclements** · 05 June 2009, 03:12 AM

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.

Excerpt from the XWD EULA

XARA WEB DESIGNER END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT ("EULA")

You are permitted to:

1. load or download the Software and use it only on a single client computer which is under your personal control; except that you may

3. transfer the Software (complete with all its associated documentation) and this license to another person provided that person has agreed to accept the terms of this Agreement and you contemporaneously transfer all copies of the Software you have made to that person or destroy all copies not transferred. If any transferee does not accept such terms then this license shall automatically terminate. The transferor does not retain any rights under this Agreement in respect of the transferred Software or license.

You are not permitted:

(a) to use the Software on any computer or system which permits electronic access to it by more than one user;

What's your point Paul

**pauland** · 05 June 2009, 01:10 PM

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

**ss-kalm** · 05 June 2009, 05:40 PM

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.

**ss-kalm** · 06 June 2009, 02:47 AM

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.

**ckh** · 06 June 2009, 06:02 AM

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

**steve.ledger** · 06 June 2009, 06:18 AM

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.
