Sonnox FAQ Answer 111

Support - FAQ Answer

I’ve seen an Oxford plug-in for sale from a non-authorised source. What do I need to know before I try to buy it?

There are three key things to be aware of as a potential purchaser of a transferring licence:

-  the seller must have already obtained permission from Sonnox to transfer the licence,

-  the licence must be in the sellers iLok account (not ONLY in an iLok), and

-  there will be fees payable IN ADDITION TO THE PURCHASE PRICE quoted by the seller.

See other 'transferring licence' FAQ's  for more details regarding the transfer of licences between iLok accounts and the re-registration of the licence to new user data.

Also please note that before the new owner can use the licence on their system, an upgrade might be necessary. This usually requires an upgrade fee to be paid to Sonnox, and would usually be the responsibility of the new owner. It is sensible to check that the version for sale is compatible with your system before you purchase.

Sometimes a licence is offered for sale in an orphaned ilok (ie. an iLok not attached to your iLok account). Under no circumstances will this licence qualify for re-registration, support or upgrade, and thus it has a limited shelf life. Please bear this in mind when agreeing a price, and MAKE SURE THAT THE VERSION FOR SALE IS COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR SYSTEM. Sonnox will not be able to help you if you can’t use the plug-in. Caveat Emptor.
