Hello,For winning an movie competition, the company Autodesk donated me "Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suite 2014" two times. Unfortunately I am not able to use this tool. Do you know if there is any possibilty to sell it?Kind regards,Felix Steup

I don't see why not.  It's not like you installed and activated them.

Autodesk software products usually cannot be resold (you own a non-transferable license). And especially products donated as a prize are usually "NFR" (not-for-resale) licenses. But try to contact the competition organizers.

Hello John Connor,thank you very much for your anwser.Do you know, where I can sell it?

Hello Administrator,The license is not transfered to my name. I have to boxes with USB sticks and codes.

Unfortunately, Autodesk is the most litigious software company out there.Morally, I think resale should be legitimate.Legally, however, no.Google "Vernor v. Autodesk, Inc."

If neither program has been registered who's to say who is the legal owner?

Excluding potential problems with the license transfer, does anybody know, where I can sell this software?Perhaps it is important to mention that I am from Germany.

[QUOTE=John Connor]If neither program has been registered who's to say who is the legal owner?[/QUOTE]Succinct point.

[QUOTE=salathater]Excluding potential problems with the license transfer, does anybody know, where I can sell this software?...[/QUOTE]Ebay?

From the licensing point of view - either Autodesk or the (first) end user can own the license. And the transfer can be either direct: Autodesk->end user, or indirect: Autodesk->authorized reseller->end user. The licence is sold/transferred, not the box (in fact there is no box with the latest versions of CAD software). If you really own a commercial license (and have good lawyers), you can try to sell it.

[QUOTE=Vladimir Michl] ... not the box (in fact there is no box with the latest versions of CAD software). [/QUOTE]This isn't entirely true, at least not in the USA.  Users can request a box with a DVD of the software to use for installations or backup.  I have always done this and continued the practice thru AutoCAD 2014.Dave.

I always get a DVD (in a box) because I don't trust the download procedure.  When I downloaded AutoCAD Electrical (tyr before you buy) it took two attempts as the first one turned out to be corrupted.  And the download took forever.
