To transfer between different accounts ($25)
Transferring licenses 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 and iLok.com will charge you $25 per license to transfer ownership. So, for example, if you bought an upgrade with one the Massive Pack deals and you found you already owned some of the plug-ins in the bundle, you could sell the duplicates to a friend — if the software publisher makes it possible. Some allow for iLok-to-iLok transfer within an account, and some don’t; however, iLok.com will tell you if they don’t. Also, some companies don’t allow any transfer of licenses at all. It is down to each software publisher’s business policies.
So it is worth checking with a software publisher before you try to buy or sell a plug-in, in case they do not allow transfers and you end up buying a plug-in you can’t transfer onto your own iLok! It is up to the individual software publishers to determine what transfers they will permit under the terms of their license to you as the end user, but of course you all read and are fully conversant with the terms and conditions of each software license… after all, nobody would consider just clicking OK to the ‘Have you read the term and conditions’ tick box without studying them in detail, would they?
Another factor to be aware of is that although iLok.com will email the software publisher to inform them of the license transfer, and note that the software publisher won’t necessarily provide support for transferred plug-ins: as before, it is their choice.

Seven radio producers – all based in the north of England – have joined forces to launch a new co-operative venture – ‘Radio Wizards’. It’s equally remarkable that their aim now is to work together on every kind of sound production... except radio!
"It’s taken over a year to get to this point," says ‘wizard’ Mike Thornton, "but now we’ve got a viable business plan, we’ve launched our website and we’re already starting to attract commissions. As a facilities provider we decided to facilitate this partnership and set them up with a web site to help kickstart this excellent partnership."
