Faulkner Press Piracy Policy Is it legal for me to sell software that I have bought and used? In some circumstances, yes, as long as you follow the terms of transfer outlined in your license agreement. You may not rent or lease the software, but you may transfer your rights under the End User License Agreement (EULA) on a permanent basis provided you transfer all copies of the software and all written materials, including the original license agreement and the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) where applicable. For any valid transfer, the software recipient must agree to the terms of the EULA. Any transfer must include the most recent product upgrade as well as any prior versions that you have. Prior to transferring your software, you must remove all copies of the product from your computer, including your portable computer, in instances where a second copy is allowed. If you want to transfer software that was licensed under a multiple license pack, you must transfer all the product copies to a single new owner. Faulkner License Paks cannot be broken up.
Can I transfer or give away old versions of my products when I acquire an upgrade? No. Since the original full product and the upgrade product together are considered a single software unit, you must retain the old product to remain legally licensed.

Lost wages, lost jobs, and unfair competition due to the illegal duplication and distribution of software hurts both workers and the companies that employ them. Struggling to fight against piracy, these companies must devote resources to anti-piracy technology, which ultimately slows down the development of better products and services. Preventing piracy means ensuring higher wages, more reliable and fully supported products, and a healthier economy. You can help stop this illegal and harmful activity. Knowing how to spot and avoid illegal software, and reporting suspected intellectual property violations when you encounter them, can have a positive impact on the fight against piracy. Please learn more about this criminal activity, and take action.
