Bring Back Transfat!
I've gone back to Pro Tracks since they started supporting midi and 24bit.

I've got the latest registered ver of Ntrack CDs.
Can I sell it without pissing off Flavio, or will that cause problems?
 
I don't think you can resell a license :(

Flavio himself would be the guy to ask...

That sounds like a good answer. You don't really "buy" software, you license the right to use it, but it doesn't belong to you. So it makes sense to me that licensing agreements generally woulnd not permit you to sell the license.

And, of course, it makes even more sense to go right to the source itself - Flavio.
 
getuhgrip,
I had the same question as you, so I emailed Flavio to ask if I could transfer my license to someone else. I haven't got a response yet.
 
but I must say in N-Track's case, i think he is selling you the software and not just a license.....
 
No. Absolutely no retail software is sold, it is all licensed. If it were sold to you, then you could license it!

You can sell it illegally, but that person's going to have to use your name and contact info for support.

Many software licenses are transferable. Was a license agreement included in the software package? If so, it should answer the question for you. If it doesn't say you can't, then you can.
 
I guess the reason I'm saying to ask flavio is that while you can't sell a license, you can *transfer* them, depending on the license itself.

I've never seen pro tracks. What does it cost, and what do you like about it which makes it favorable as opposed to n-tracks?

I am new at this, and the price was right on N-tracks, but I have run into some limitations, especially as far as plug ins go, in the words of Jimmy "I just can't get that sound!" or it was something like that...
 
Just a matter of personal preference not really having to do with limitations or quality.

I started with PG's Pro Tracks a few years back while still using an SB live and cheapie mics. I used it for about two years and got quite comfortable with its layout and operation.

When I upgraded to a 24bit setup with midi, PT was no longer a usable interface so I bought Ntracks. I've been kind of a pussy about this. Ntrack looked and felt different and I was already getting burned out on "recording learning curve" in general so I just didn't use it that much.

PT has upgraded and now supports all my hardware in 24/96. It does the same thing as Ntracks but has a face that I find more appealing.

I don't really want to sell Ntrack, but I have no use for it. Rather than toss it, perhaps there's a creative way of sharing it or donating it.

Any ideas guys?
 
Read the license agreement, which you should be able to get to by clicking somewhere in the help menu, or in a file in the n-Track folder. It should tell you what the terms are for transfer.

If I were you I'd just keep it. Besides, n-Track is so well-priced that flavio deserves to get paid for every copy out there!

Oh I agree with ya Bo. Poor choice of words. I didn't mean share it as in throwin' it up on Morpheus. But if I give it to somebody, that should be cool cause I've paid for it.

Ah hell, I'll just stick it between "Space Bunnys must Die!" and "Grim Fandango". :cool:
 
I guess it's all how you look at it. When you purchase software, you're just purchasing the right to use the software per the license agreement. You're not purchasing an item that can be resold.

Now you may be able to give it to a buddy and let them use it, depending on the wording of the license. You would still be the responsible party, but as long as n-Track is no longer on your machine, you might not be violating the license. Look into it, they're usually pretty straight-forward documents.
