Can I sell duplicate plugins?

[GunmanOrange]

Hello all. I bought several individual plugins. Later I bought the Signature Bundle which included all of the plugins I had already bought individually.
Can I sell those individual licenses?
I have LA2A, 1176, Pultec and DBX160 licenses if anyone is interested.

According to UAD Native FAQ you cannot sell/transfer plugins.

Out of curiosity, do you have 4 licenses each in iLok account for the doubles? Just wondering how UA handles duplicate licenses bought through a single UA account.

For each of the plugins I listed I have the two licenses that come with the Sig Bundle and the two licenses that came with individual purchases all in the same iLok account.

So for example the 1176 is showing four activations available. Two under the Sig Bundle and two from the original individual purchase or the 1176.

Does that make sense?

Got it. iLok allows for transfers but vendors have the option to prevent. Do you have duplicate DSP licenses for those 4 plugins that were deposited into a second group/system as well? Obviously this is what complicates the transfer process as the iLok and UAD licenses are technically linked and UAD DSP plugins must be sold as a group with UAD HW.

Thanks. I haven’t got UAD hardware so not sure I fully follow.
i’ll take pics of UA Connect and ilok License manager when I’m at home. Are you saying that the ilok license transfer is possible but the UA side of things isn’t?
I think the wording of the FAQ is a bit ambiguous though. Transfers not “supported” means something different than transfers not possible to me.

Interesting. I wasn’t aware you can buy individual plugins that include DSP versions without owning hardware. For example, the DBX160 comes with both native and DSP. Not sure how that is handled when you don’t have hardware. DSP licenses usually appear in your UA account under your registered hardware. Id contact support and see what they say.

Once a plugin has been ported, it's "re-productized" and includes both licenses.

If you own UAD hardware, great, if not and you add one later, the DSP license is waiting for you.

Plugins still follow this:

https://help.uaudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/206238366-How-To-Transfer-Ownership-of-UAD-2-Apollo-Devices

And native licenses are not transferable unless part of a hardware sale.

Thanks Drew.

Does this mean only DSP mirrored licenses move with the hardware - or do native only versions also move alongside the hardware "system" that has been sold? e.g. I sell hardware from system 2 WITH all plugins - is the LION as native-only license (that I bought for system 2) staying in my account (where I still have devices in system 1) or does this LION license one move with the sold hardware?

To be honest I find the licensing not very straight forward, complex and hard to understand. This case is nowhere described and without Drew I would have even more questions s about the DSP/native double licenses (at least this seems clear to me now!).

Answer to my question can be found in another thread:

Do native plugins belong to a "system"?

Hi, I have 5 apollos. I might sell the 5th apollo in system 2 in the future, but I'm not 100% sure yet as I'll see how it works out at our practice room. This interface has no additional plugins and it's in system 2 home alone. So here's the question:When I buy the UAD signature 2 edition...
