Soundtheory charges:
- a transfer fee of $25 per calendar year of ownership (!)
- as they use iLok, there's an additional $25 for PACE
If you're not in the USA, there are further costs:
- the fee for Soundtheory goes through Fastspring, who didn't allow me to pay in USD as I don't have a US cc/Paypal.
Instead, I had to pay €30 for each $25 (which at today's rate amounts to €31.51)
- PACE asked for USD, so there's an additional currency exchange fee (bank/Paypal)
In my case, according to Soundtheory's FAQ, I had to pay them $125 - but they capped that considerably after I asked their support to consider charging a more equitable fee (mentioning EU consumer law).

Moog apparently allows license transfers for plugins: "Can I transfer my Moogerfooger plug-in license?
You can transfer your license using iLok's License Manager software. Visit https://www.ilok.com/ for more information."
[Edit: they've now switched from iLok and been acquired by inMusic, so I don't know if they still allow license transfers. I'm waiting for a reply from support.]

Minimal Audio is totally easy to do a transfer now, just log into your account, click downloads, click transfer under the plugin you want to transfer, and enter recipients email address. Done! Easiest transfers of any company I have used.simonbostock wrote: Wed Sep 14, 2022 5:53 pm Minimal Audio doesn’t allow licence transfers. Unfortunately license transfers go against their user agreement, so they do not allow them. They only offer a refund on their products if you request a refund within 30 days of purchasing.
