crossbonez Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 (edited) I would think it was ok to get it from other places. But ommmm dont quote me on it. 586464958[/snapback] BTW, is it legal to re-sell software i hv bought, say Windows XP, to others? i can give my Linspire license to u at $0 :p Edited September 1, 2005 by crossbonez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianCommodore Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 The fact that they state that their servers are being slammed and that they recommend new buyers to wait a few days to download the digital download is probably a good hint as to why the promotion code is said to be expired. They probably want to keep the amount of downloads limited. So I wouldn't be surprised if it will work later on today or during the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
child998 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 BTW, is it legal to re-sell software I bought, say Windows XP, to others? 586465083[/snapback] if you had xp, in its box and never used it. then yes you can. but if you have used it, and activated it. then no you cant sell it to a friend or anyone.

CanadianCommodore Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 crossbonez: sure you are allowed, as long as you sell the license with it. As long as it does not explicitly tell you it is not for re-sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markwolfe Veteran Posted September 1, 2005 Veteran Share Posted September 1, 2005 I'm not so sure you are correct, duff. So long as the license accompanies the CD, it is all nice and legal (Y) (IIRC) 586465145[/snapback] XP EULA is a bit off-topic, but they severely restrict resale: Transfer to Third Party. The initial user of the Product may make a one-time transfer of the Product to another end user. The transfer has to include all component parts, media, printed materials, this EULA, and if applicable, the Certificate of Authenticity. The transfer may not be an indirect transfer, such as a consignment. Prior to the transfer, the end user receiving the transferred Product must agree to all the EULA terms.

CanadianCommodore Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 (OT) thanks for the definitive answer on the software reselling topic Mark. I wonder if Microsoft's EULA is stricter than the usual license agreement? Back to the topic. Here is the e-mail I got from Linspire Customer Support: ---------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for contacting Linspire.
