No one answered the first time you asked, so my guess is no one knows for sure...

but I would imagine the original licenses are non-transferable.

Gerber keeps good track of their stuff. When you buy hardware you transfer it. It may be the same with software. I beleive you need a hardware congle to run Omega and Gerber would keep track of that nad transfer ownership.

If you're planning to do this legally, why don't you call them and ask?

I know for our versions we have had, there is a USB dongle that needs to be attached at all times if you want to run the program.

this is the link to the auction on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=171194976909&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123 So that you guys get a better idea of what is that im looking at. I just want to make sure this will work and im not stuck with a useless piece of software.

well the dongle is in the picture, so it should work...

still no idea on transfer for upgrade though.
