bdillard Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Hello, I'd like ot purchase a used copy of Chief Architect x13 on chieftalk through the forum. Do I reach out to sales and get any forms necessary or should the seller? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekPedersen Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Hello, Thank you for the question. The seller will need to contact our Customer Service directly. Customer Service will provide the seller with the necessary form and the license transfer fee. The transfer fee varies depending on the history of the license and can range from $100 up to $900+. The license transfer fee must be paid, and the License Transfer Form must be signed by both parties before the software license can change ownership. Note that SSA is not transferrable. If you would like SSA, you would need to purchase it separately through an SSA renewal (if qualifies) or by upgrading. Let us know if you have any questions. Kind regards, Derek Chief Architect Sales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdillard Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 Sorry one more question, the ssa is about $600 and that gives you free upgrades for a year. So would it matter if I bought an x12 or x13 license used if I'm buying the SSA from Cheifarchitect.com directly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 You can't buy SSA for X12 , current version only , for X12 you would need to upgrade to X13 ...but that includes SSA and is currently $625 on Sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

globalhome Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I am a design build contractor and very frequently work on remodeling. I really love what I do and I have been experimenting on chief architect for some time now and also geared on purchasing the software. I have also been checking ChiefTalk for some time now and I have a question regarding outright ownership after purchase. My thing is that when I buy the software, I have full ownership and I can do whatever I want with it - selling it to whoever I want to, without been controlled by CA for change in ownership and also charging a fee for the change. That is outrageous or what I will call greed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 49 minutes ago, globalhome said: My thing is that when I buy the software, I have full ownership and I can do whatever I want with it You don't actually ever Own Chief ...you are granted a License to use that one copy in perpetuity and while Chief doesn't have a Subscription Model, Like AutoCAD or Adobe do these Days, I would say the Annual SSA is about as close as you can get without using the word subscription, though that is what allows for tech support , getting the latest Version each year and access to the newest Version's 3D Library Files. The EULA PDF is HERE The Transfer is pretty painless it seems and costs $50 for a Full License, through the Sales Dept. , costs vary for secondary Licenses and are based on the Full Version Price > second license cost difference. You should check the Offers Forum you may find a Deal there.... M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 also note that the software requires a software lock and needs to touchbase with the mothership every so often or the license can be turned off X9 was the last version to have a hardware key that gave independence of CA's control unless the key breaks etc the software lock was introduced with X2 someday I expect to hear that CA has turned off all software licenses prior to version XYZ they have never indicated this - just my supposition that they could Lew 4 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbuttery Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 best to contact CA sales as they no longer allow sale of used licenses they have a new policy concerning SSA and upgrades and pricing that takes effect Jan 10, 2023 you must keep SSA current - if not, SSA can't be renewed afterwards Lew 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 USING CHIEF X9 (own X14) STARTED WITH HD PRO 6 then CHIEF 9.5 Lew, Your signature is incorrect. You don't own X14. You just own a license to use it in perpetuity. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
