Important information regarding transferring Traktor licence's bundled with F1

[shr3dder]

OEM software being resold isn't the same thing as OEM software being generally resellable. The same provisions as academic software likely applies - you were given a non-transferable license to the software on the basis that you have *this* piece of hardware (/are eligible for an educational discount).

EULA's suck, innit.

Sure do.

Still, it'd be interesting if someone actually challenged it in Australia, we don't follow US case law obviously, though it'd probably be the same result.

I guess people can just sell their existing licenses then keep the F1 license, it's basically the same, the only ones punished are those that upgraded to Scratch.

So has anyone actually challenged the idea of a EULA itself in court? It truly is bizarre as there are no other transactions that are governed in that way. Agreeing to a contract without the presence of the other party, without any negotiation or ability to modify the contract or add stipulations, and often without even an opportunity to read the contract before agreeing to it? (Think shrinkwrapped software that claims you agree to the contract by opening the wrap, yet the license is inside the package). It's hard to believe a court system even takes it seriously at all, especially in a country that so prides itself on individual rights (particularly property rights). It's just bizarre. Yet it seems almost unquestioned.

Does this mean that S2/S4 owners also have their serials keys bound to their hardware? I'm thinking like someone said earlier, that we could just preregister our original copy and sell that one and just use the one from F1. Any one done this yet?

Hi Guys,

I am having a similar problem. I currently own an S4 and have Traktor Pro 2.5 software, have just purchased a Kontrol F1 and was hoping to give the software to a mate of mine for free.

Does anyone know if I de-register my Traktor software that came with the S4 whether I can then register the Kontrol F1 and the S4 to my new version and give the old version to my mate? I.e. are the S4 and Traktor also connected in the same way as the Kontrol F1?

Thanks for any responses

You should be able to do what you want. The S4 isn't the same as the F1 even though it is for some reason.

Sooo anybody got a spare tp2 license i can buy AND use? I bought a second hand F1 and the serial is already registered but i have no idea who the original owner was:S

This is very interesting. I had the similar experience with the free license with the purchase of X1 controller. I noticed that the registration was originally listed as a regular TP license. A few months later, it changed to a promotional license tied to the X1 hardware. I started to look into a legal remedy, but decided it was not worth fighting about.

I am selling my S4 and was going to send off my F1 Traktor version. Now I will have to de-register S4 Traktor and use F1 copy.

How do I install the F1 serial of Traktor without losing my Remix Sets, etc on the new install???

Thanks

I've never had problem when installing Traktor on 3 other laptops even other IP locations,

How about login with your account and install it for him and then do not save passwords, and he can always download updates from somewhere? or let him borrow your HW for installation?

I also contacted them, and have just got the reply.

I managed to just go to control centre and update Traktor, and then entered my F1 Traktor serial, and so now my Traktor install shows that serial, and I've asked Traktor to de-register my original serial that came with my S4
