Software license transfer is legal throughout the EU and the UK although several conditions must be strictly followed. Capefoxx ensures these conditions are adhered to by using a transparent workflow.

The legal foundation
The transfer of software licenses, given specific conditions are met, is legal in the EU EFTA trade zone. Same conditions still apply to the UK market after Brexit. The legal basis for this is referred to as the ‘principle of exhaustion’. This principle means that the copyright holder’s exclusive right to distribute a copy of a copyrighted product is exhausted on its first legal sale.
