I am retiring after 44 years of owning my own Consulting Civil Engineering. I have a 10 seat Premium  2013 Civil 3D AutoCAD. It has been a great tool for my Company and my employees. I will no longer have need for it in retirement. Rather than trash it, I would like to transfer it to someone who could benefit from it. I have heard mixed reviews as to it being transferable, either to 1 or multiple users. Does anyone know if this is transferable? Also, does anyone know of someone or multiple persons looking for something like this?

I don't believe the license is transferable according to the EULA but it would probably be worth contacting AutoDesk to confirm.  At the very least they would appreciate your honesty.  A rare commodity these days.

Thanks John, I truly appreciate your response. I actually have contacted Autodesk and have received contradictory responses from them. I am waiting on a reply from them now. I am not trying to deceive anybody. i truly want to be honest and help someone out, if I possibly can.

If they do say "yes"...getting it in writing.

I tried posting the copy of their email again. I got a notice that the Moderator has to review the content first, since it appeared the "format was changed", which I guess is what happens when you cut and paste something, as opposed to writing it out.In any event, they stated in the email that it was transferable. Thanks again for your input.
