 Upgrading to Sonar X3 bought me an Addictive Drums license. Cool, but I already have one, and cannot think of any reason to have two.
 My question is: am I free to do whatever I please with it ( sell or give away ), or is it somehow connected to my Sonar purchase?

Had the exact same question, so I bumped this up...
 
Anyone ?

I think it becomes officially personal the moment you register it. That would mean you could sell it.
It may not be entirely in line with the intent of the deal though.

xln do allow license transfer but surely no need if not registered?

CW informed me that the AAS Session instruments were NFR and implied the same about XLN. But maybe they were just making a demand they can't really enforce considering it technically isn't theirs to make demands about? Maybe better to ask XLN (& AAS).

Unless there's some code that ties it to SONAR. I doubt they had included one you can give away or sell, but of course...you never know.

I have no way of confirming, but I suspect the sonar one may not be transferable.  If the one you have is transferable, perhaps transfer that one instead.  i can't imagine it would be too hard to tie certain serial numbers to Sonar users.

Same question - have a current license and certainly don't have use for two.  
 
Of course I have two registrations of Rapture and Dimension.  But those are pretty clearly 'mine' as Cakewalk does not allow transfer.

That's the thing, before you register it it's not a transfer, you just give/sell someone the serial and they register it, at which point it becomes theirs. AD may have some internal note saying it was purchased with Sonar and can't be transferred afterwards (though I seriously doubt it), but they don't actually check for a Sonar registration when you register it.

EDIT: again though, probably not entirely in line with the intent of the deal.

 Yeah, I have this same question up on XLN's board, same u/n as this one, not getting much intrest, though, which is kinda strange, seeing as you normally get very quick answers from actual XLN staff over there. Wasn't gonna sell, but maybe give it away here.
