Buying a used TrainController
What to consider
What do you need to consider when buying a used TrainController software license including the USB license stick?
- fig: USB license stick
Is a license transfer possible and necessary? What are the prices for upgrades to a higher version?
Register license
Registering the USB stick under its new name is very useful in case the stick becomes defective. If an unregistered, defective stick is sent to the manufacturer, an exchange may not be possible because it can no longer be determined which product (e.g., TrainController Bronze vs. Gold) the stick is compatible with. This information is available with registration.
The same applies if no USB drive is provided, but the license key of a used license is entered during registration. Freiwald Software can then provide the key again in case of loss.
Therefore, it is in your own interest to always register a used license.
No upgrades to higher versions
Freiwald Software offers discounted upgrades if a valid license for the previous version is held and this license was purchased from us or an authorized reseller. The second requirement is not (retroactively) fulfilled for a used license, even by registering with Freiwald Software.
Beim Erwerb einer gebrauchten Lizenz wird nur das Nutzungsrecht an exakt derjenigen Version übertragen, für die die Lizenz gilt. Für den neuen Lizenznehmer entsteht daraus kein Anspruch auf nachfolgende (kostenlose) Updates und (kostengünstige) Upgrades.
