You are operating under the assumption you can find a buyer. I think you'll be hard-pressed to find someone willing to purchase a second-hand license from a company that has publicly announced they are no longer selling any kind of software and have closed up shop.

Sounds likely. Wonder why noone suggested it before now.
Both theories were mentioned several times at this point.

Oh... OOOOH!

Sorry - little bit slow today. :P

Especially in this thread. I think this will break KVR records in terms of longest thread, created in the shortest bit of time, without the usual-usual (insults, finger pointing, derailing, cat pictures, HPC - closing and banning).

Show me one business that wouldn't ?
What, like Urs knocking back NI multiple times? Lemme think.

Nope, i think if i get the official "ok" it will sell like hotcakes, especially to a windows EU user.. no vat, no compatibility issues for a looooong time. And if it doesn't, what different position would i be in to now? Nothing ventured nothing gained. There have already been multiple posts in this very topic ( i read every single page) that wish they could still buy it.
I might buy it if the price was right and if I could be 100% sure that it would even work if I installed it.

Honestly, CA closing up shop has me a little bit skittish about diving into this even IF they personally said it was okay.

well that's what i had sad in my sales topic, that it was 100% risk free, had to install and work. But it has to be all or nothing the way i see it, ie everything in the account.
I just got confirmation from CA I can transfer my Alchemy license. The buyer just needs to have a account at CA already.
