    Hello,
     
    Here little clarification on the license transfer questions.
     
    The license transfer fee can vary depending on the history of the license.  The transfer fee of a typical primary license (not Academic, National Acct., etc.) is $50.  If the license was purchased at a special price such as a promotion, rebate, additional license discount and some national accounts, the transfer fee is typically the difference between the discounted price and the regular price of the software package.
     
    In general, SSA is not transferrable.  The person who buys the transferred license has the option to add SSA to the license if it is the current version.  If the license is a prior version, the person can upgrade the license which includes 1-year of SSA.
     
    It is always recommended to contact Customer Service to find out what the transfer fee will be on a particular license.
     
    Below is a clip from the Chief Architect End User License Agreement found in the User's Guide with a more in-depth description on the transfer of Chief Architect Software licenses.
     
    I hope this helps.
     
    Kind Regards,

    You may permanently transfer your license to another person or entity only upon written approval by Chief Architect, Inc., and according to the following terms and conditions:
    a.  You must fill out and return to Chief Architect, Inc. the Certificate of Transfer of Ownership prior to any transfer of the Software. This is available through the Chief Architect, Inc.’s Customer Service Department. Call Chief Architect, Inc.'s Customer Service Department prior to any transfer in order to receive this document;
