When is a Transfer Of Licence (TOL) permitted?
A licence transfer is only possible under certain strict conditions:
- It is only possible for network and standalone perpetual licences (purchase licences) with a maintenance contract.
- The reason for Transfer of Licence (TOL) is one of the following:
- Merger: several companies merge to form a new company. The new company assumes ownership of all assets of the merged companies, as well as the software for which a TOL is required.
- Acquisition: all or almost all of a company's assets, including registered software licences, are sold to a single company. The software must be transferred to the purchasing company.
- Divestment: The company concerned sells a division or an entire business unit to another company. The registered software licences used by the division or business unit concerned are transferred to the other company.
Please note! Subscriptions can only be transferred to another company if the transfer is requested within the scope of purchasing a Premium Plan. The licences of the various subsidiaries concerned can then be transferred to the parent company that purchases the Premium Plan.
