Caveat Emptor! This is based upon the last details that I was
told about the DXP license agreement.

To the best of my knowledge DXP a license is nontransferable,
not for resale. Be sure to read the license agreement thoroughly
and contact Altium to confirm the license is transferable before
you buy.
99SE licenses are transferable unless the owner has already
upgraded to DXP and installed DXP acknowledging the new license
agreement.

Simon,
Good points, I had not heard of the 99SE limited licenses.
You are correct about the sale of the company or a
subsidiary. That is common with most CAD software licenses as
well. (I know this first hand because I have investigated that
several times when my employers were bought by another company.)

But once you are finished, was it worth it?

Actually .. not all Protel 99SE are transferable.. later ones
aren't either.
Of course you can actually set up a company owning the licenses
and sell the
company to get around this.. perfectly legal :)
I believe that the Altium will also allow a subsidiary to get
licenses but
you have to get approval first

Oops.

Thankyou for bringing the changes to my attention. I was unaware that
the DXP line was no longer transferrable. Can't find the EULA to
confirm but it does not surprise me.

Whilst this brings the product into line with the other majors it has
in my opinion ( FWIW ) severely devalued the package as it has changed
it from being a valuable asset to simply an expense; a considerably
greater one at that.

Please consider the for-sale notice removed.

Greg,
You should be able find the EULA through the Help/About
menus. Assuming you have it installed. Or you could try a
re-install and read it when it comes up onscreen.
I don't have first hand knowledge of the DXP EULA but I sure
know plenty of my associates noticed the difference or were
informed of it by their Altium contacts when DXP came out. I am
surprised the Abd ul-Rahman hasn't shown up here or at least
informed you through the Yahoo group. He is the Protel license
transfer expert having transferred or assisted in transferring
many a number of them.

Well with the current cost of Protel... Yes it is worth it.... I would even
go so far as to say create a dummy company when you want to buy the
software.. and let it buy it.. and just have the parent company own it lock
stock and barrel.
