Frequently asked questions
Yes. The resale of perpetual software within the European Union is legal. It follows Directive 2009/24/EC and the CJEU judgment C-128/11 UsedSoft v Oracle from 2012. The court states that distribution rights are exhausted after the first sale and the author cannot oppose the resale of used licences.
Only within the European Union. We do not sell or support usage outside the EU.
- Perpetual product. No subscriptions.
- Fully paid by the first acquirer.
- Uninstalled and not in use by the first owner at transfer time.

Usually within 24 hours after payment. We deliver by email with activation instructions.
We operate on the secondary software market. We purchase genuine Microsoft SQL Server licences from companies that no longer need them, for example after cloud migration or restructuring, and resell them with full legal documentation. These are the same original perpetual licences transferred from one owner to another under EU law. You get the same activation and usage rights as with new retail licences at a lower cost.

Legal information
Our licences are offered for use in the European Union only. The legal basis for resale is the EU Directive 2009/24/EC and the 2012 judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in case C-128/11 UsedSoft v Oracle. The ruling confirms that the right of distribution is exhausted after the first sale and the author cannot oppose the resale of used perpetual licences.
Conditions for a valid transfer: the product is perpetual, fully paid by the first acquirer, uninstalled and no longer used by the first owner at the time of transfer, and the first sale and subsequent transfers take place within the EU.
Each licence is genuine and accompanied by documents proving lawful origin and transfer. We provide activation support and downgrade options where applicable.
