My last post on this, then we'll have to agree to disagree. ;)
The car analogy simply doesn't work with this topic, IMO. Maybe compare it to leasing a car. Think a dealer would mind if you sold the car you leased from them? You can do it. It's certainly possible. Problem is, both the seller AND BUYER in that circumstance could find themselves in a legal predicament.
Bottom line is this: Anyone who is considering 'buying' an already registered version of AutoCad from it's original purchaser should do a bit of research and consider their decision very carefully. Their very business could be at stake. For $3K dollars, is it really worth the risk? How much would it take to defend yourself, assuming that you are legally correct?
I won't say you're right or wrong in your legal assessment. What I will say is that anyone should be very careful about this whole issue. Personally, I don't want to be the test case.
