The 70's were tough ... that's why punk happened imho.

Also, buying an account takeover is like buying illegal licences, which is EXACTLY the same as piracy. If you don't support piracy, don't buy an account takeover. Unless the developer supports this, there are very few who do.

Are there companies which allow complete account transfers? I don't think so... or am I wrong?

Do you have written proof from the developers that confirm this? If so please share it.ralfrobert wrote: ↑Wed Jan 26, 2022 8:32 pmCherry Audio, Tracktion.GregSilver wrote: ↑Wed Jan 26, 2022 8:20 pm Are there companies which allow complete account transfers? I don't think so... or am I wrong?
I think if this is the case then the buyer should reach out to their support and confirm with them that it IS ok before purchasing. This would be the safest approach.

Yah that's not very "Official". I was hoping to see a response from a Tracktion employee.
Again to any buyer I would suggestion contacting them directly via their support page and asking them BEFORE buying anything.

A few years ago I asked Tracktion directly if I could sell my BioTek license. They recommended me to transfer my account. I ended up not doing so, because I also owned Waveform.

Thank you ! I was just searching for a second hand licence... The one I was interested in is Avenger and on that licence you have to pay a fee. Is this make it safe in any way or could I be scamed anyway ?

Depends. Is the Avenger fee the responsibility of the seller or the buyer?

I am interested in Ableton Live Suite and there are a couple of decent offers here on KVR, but your post has me thinking hard about it.
