This policy seems a bit pedantic and draconian IMO. If you bought a $100,000 Mercedes Benz but then the company said you couldn't sell it when your done with it, wouldn't that be a bit silly?
On principle alone that's a deal-breaker to me. Such a scenario certainly makes Studio One look more attractive. $147 cheaper, and i can sell it when and if i wish. And ver III of Studio One is just around the corner. Here's the EULA at the Presonus website... "Provided you do not retain copies of the Licensed Software, you are permitted to permanently transfer your license to another party to use the Licensed Software". Any latest comments from Cakewalk about this would certainly be appreciated; any change-of-mind being considered at the moment Cakewalk?
