Transfer of ownership (in different flavors) been around for years and is the proper way of doing this. One problem with backdoor just handing over accounts is when you don't have access to the email accounts they are tied to. The other reason is is just the "right way" and vendors are under no obligation and may not want jump through hoops for you when something goes wrong. What if you lose the iLok? Do you have ZDT/TLC on it? With what email/contact info? etc. Things might work... but if they need to contact you via email... what happens. Do you have access to their iLok account? How do you install any license update Avid delivers? I't not clear to me you can just change iLok account settings, you certainly cannot pair that iLok with another iLok account you create.
That is awesome information, thank you. Yes he gave me his iLok account login details too. The plan was to merge his account with mine and then transfer the iLok license from his account to mine. The seller seems a straight up guy and I said that Avid might contact him regarding the merging of accounts and he said he would keep an eye out for any email, fingers crossed it all goes OK.
