Default Re: PT10HD iLok license transfer locked. Is this even legal?

Since Avid has the ability to strip an asset from an ilok, I think it will be easy to convince a judge to see it from the buyer's perspective.

I suspect that at the end of the day, the cost to defend this small claim will outweigh the cost of settling it.

I'll keep you all posted.
Best of luck - I hope u have a pre law student that wants to work pro bono

You don't even really own the software you are just licensed to run it - it seems that some pretty good lawyers tend to write the Eula and u did agree to it upon install and purchase and install of the ilok as well
