Sonnox FAQ Answer 109

Support - FAQ Answer

I have written permission from Sonnox to transfer my licence. What do I do now ?

If you have written permission to sell your licence, the procedure includes:

-  Application to ilok.com to transfer the licence to another iLok account.
To complete a successful transfer, this will include the payment of a fee to ilok.com, usually by the seller, of USD 25.00 per licence.

-  Re-registration of the licence to the new owner by Sonnox, which will include the payment of a re-registration fee to Sonnox, paid by the new owner.  This is GBP 25.00 per licence, to a maximum of GBP 100.00 in a single transfer transaction.  So, if you are transferring 4 or more plug-in licences, the maximum fee will be capped at GBP 100.00.

-  Approval or denial of the ilok.com transfer by Sonnox. Approval of the transfer will not be given by Sonnox until the new owner has re-registered and paid the applicable fee to Sonnox. Denial of the transfer by Sonnox will withdraw the need for the ilok.com fee.

Sometimes, before the new owner can use the licence on his system, a licence upgrade is necessary. This usually requires an upgrade fee to be paid to Sonnox, and would usually be the responsibility of the new owner. Sometimes the upgrade is necessary before the transfer can be made (for example early PowerCore licences), in which case the seller will need to upgrade as a first step.

For further advice on whether an upgrade may be required, please read the relevant FAQ or contact support@sonnoxplugins.com for advice.

In summary, there are usually fees to be paid in order to transfer and re-register the licence. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT THE SELLER ADVISES THE POTENTIAL PURCHASER OF THIS INFORMATION.
