Step 1: Assess the value of your licence

Setting a fair price is essential to attracting buyers:

  • Find out the current new price: Consult the publisher's website or resellers to find out the current price of your software.
  • Consider the status of your licence: if it includes recent updates or extensions, this may justify a higher price.
Step 2: Prepare your licence for sale

Before putting your licence up for sale, there are a few crucial steps to take:

  • Check the publisher's policy: Not all publishers authorise licence transfers. Consult our ultimate guide to licence transfer to check your publisher's specific terms and conditions.
  • Prepare the necessary information: Identify the elements required for the transfer, such as the buyer's e-mail address, the licence number or the procedures to be followed on the publisher's site.
  • Deactivate your licence: Make sure the software is deactivated or unlinked from your devices, in accordance with the publisher's instructions.
Step 3: Write a detailed and precise advert

A well-written ad attracts serious buyers:

  • Specify the details of the software: Indicate the name, version and main features.
  • Mention any special conditions: Clearly indicate whether the transfer requires any additional costs or special procedures.
  • Add useful information: For example, specify whether the licence is eligible for upgrades or whether it includes additional extensions.
Step 4: Answer buyers' questions quickly

Fast, effective communication makes selling easier:

  • Be available: Respond to messages from potential buyers as soon as possible.
  • Offer additional information: Provide screenshots or links to official product pages if requested.
Stage 5: Verification and validation by Green Musicians

Once a buyer has been found, Green Musicians ensures that the transfer goes smoothly:
