Selling or Buying a Used VSX

When buying or selling a used VSX system there are two steps to transferring the product registration/warranty/downloads and the software license.

1. Transfer the registration email in a support ticket here

2. Transfer the license between different iLok accounts

Transferring licences between different accounts (also known as transfer of ownership) is a very similar process to transferring within your own account and is great if you want to buy and sell any plug-ins from other users. It is handled securely by iLok.com, but be aware that this type of transfer is not free. There are three ways to transfer a license. There is a $25 fee per license or bundle (locked group) for transferring licenses to another iLok.com account, but each License Transfer order has a maximum charge of $50, so you could transfer two licenses or 10 or 100 and the price would be the same - $50.

 

NOTE: If you purchased VSX prior to December 2022 or later than December 2022 and purchased the Platinum bundle, you will have more than one VSX license. You will also have a license called Steven Slate VSX Platinum and Steven Slate VSX Mike Dean (Platinum Bundle Buyers only). In any case, these licenses also need to be transferred to the buyer, in order for them to have access to all the rooms in the purchase. 

When transferring a license, you will be asked to confirm your account information by signing in again. This protects you if you leave your account signed in where others can access your computer. Software publishers decide if they will allow transfers of their licenses. Some software publishers allow transfers, but will want to approve the transaction. You can look at the license detail to see if a license can be transferred.

Choose one of 3 ways to start the Transfer process....

1. Find the license you wish to transfer and select it by clicking on it. Next, click on the Transfer icon in the top right corner of the iLok License Manager window to start the process.

2. Find the license you wish to transfer and select it by clicking on it, then click on "show details". You can then click on "Transfer" to start the process.

3. Right-click the license you wish to transfer and select "Transfer" to start the process.

Then follow the instructions carefully. When transferring a license, you will be asked to confirm your account information. Be careful when entering the destination User ID as transfers cannot be reversed or undone.
