We will buy your Softwarelicenses!
The licensing jungle often makes it difficult to identify unnecessary licenses. That’s because of the variety of contract types, product names, basic licenses, and much more.
Our process, which has been tried and tested by SAM Consultants enables you to sell your licenses efficiently and securely. The commercial and legal processes involved in license transfers are checked by accountants, trustees, and specialist lawyers. Our ERP system has been certified by TÜV according to ISO 27001.

Your right
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) clarified the legal situation in a decision handed down in 2012 (ECJ, Judgment C-128/11 of 3 July 2012) and subsequent judgements from the German Federal Court (BGH, Judgment I ZR 129/08, of 17 July 2013 and BGH, Judgment I ZR 8/13 of 11 December 2014), and in accordance with Swiss case law (Canton court – KG Zug, ES 2010 822, Executive Order of 4 May 2011), which stated that used software could be resold, regardless of how it was purchased, without requiring permission from the manufacturer.
Provisions of a license agreement that prohibit a subsequent sale are invalid.
