Default Used iLok, any use?

I had sold a turnkey system a while back for a sale gone bad. The buyer never payed me for the software, just partially the hardware. I then left him with the system for about a year and a half and made my ultimatum. I told him not to connect to ILM. That I had problems with my ilok account. This is after he refused to pay me even for the transfers of ownership. I preceded to report it to ilok as a loss. Never received my money. I heard later he sold it, and the new owner connected to ilok. Supposedly it deactivated all the licenses on the new owner’s end. I was unaware it was the same system at the time. We both knew the third owner. The third party asked me what happened “There was no software”. I told him probably the second party who sold you it stole the software, while I didn’t realize that it could have been the same item. I then advised him to buy a used copy of the software on eBay. I also would like to add, even though it might seem contradictory, that the software was never used simultaneously. The third party reported the software deactivated, I then proceeded to use it on my end after the deactivation . It was considered a loss. All the software has been ever since obsolete with no upgrade options. His hardware can still be upgraded to this day. I offered the second party an upgrade path before he supposedly resold it, but it resulted in an argument with him not wanting to pay me or for the upgrade. He resold it afterwards to the third party mentioned before with a subsequent deactivation on their end. So, in other words, I recouped my losses from a deadbeat second party for a sale gone bad by reclaiming the software.
