I have a client who has decided to close their doors. I am not an MBS
partner, so I am not very familiar with the licensing. What I need to
determine is whether or not they can sell the license to another
organization. I know that some EULAs state that the license is not
transferrable, but I have not read the RMS EULA, so I'm hoping someone
else has....

It CAN be transferred as part of the sale of the store, but not as a
single item that will be used in a completely different entity. So, if
someone buys or leases then reopens the original store, they would be
OK, but if it's a different person opening a different store, they would
not...

This should be illegal.

So for E.g. If I was not happy with the software or RMS is not the proper
software for our business, and haven't had it for no more then a year. I
can't resale it? after spending the amount of money you do!!!. I will say I
own the software and I can do what ever I want with it. When you buy this
program the partner never mention that you are stock with the program if it
doesn't work for your business.
where can I see The EULA?
thanks
