Personally, as a trade off for having serial/regcode copy protection (as opposed to something more restrictive), I think it's totally worth it.

Yes having a serial / registry registration is the best.
then you can re install and activate the product endlessly !

Let's use ( IK multimedia ) as an example.

If i need to re install my computer, or my HK fails
i need to activate the product once more.
When this happens and you have used all the  " Activations "
more money is needed, to be able to reactivate again ?
There you go.. Money, and Money..

Correct me if i am wrong.

It would mean having to contact their tech support to be able to reactivate. No money would need to change hands.
 
Just like the original question, this is a tech support issue. Not a forum issue.

Just put in some of my thought's that's all.

Anyway if you have a serial / regfile, you are not depended
to have any internet connection to activate your products.
then you can install your software at your cabin
far in the wood's, assuming it has power to run your computer ;D

ill stop there..  

We do not offer license transfers. That's a bit different from prohibiting someone to sell something. Important distinction.
 
Not transferring licenses is a huge part of what allows us to offer upgrade pricing for loyal customers. Owning a license for the software is what allows us to offer free technical support and cheap product upgrades. 
 
If you sell your physical copy of SONAR to someone, we're not going to recognize them as being the owner of the license. They will not receive technical support, we will not unlock their products for them, and they will not be eligible for applicable upgrade promotions.
 
I know there are a lot of mixed opinions regarding this topic and different laws in different countries. People love to argue EULAs etc. Regardless, what's most important here is that we've built our business around providing loyal customers with great support and cheap upgrades. Intentionally side-stepping this hurts our business, which as an end result hurts our product and our customers.
 
Also, I can't even begin to tell you how upset people on the receiving end of buying used licenses tend to be. I personally wouldn't want to be on the other end of that :)

Some good point's there..

I like it. : )  I can't prevent you from selling your copy of the software - we just don't offer license transfers. Period.
