I'm trying to sell my Maschine to a friend. The problem is you supposedly can only license maschine to one computer and that's it.
Anyone know any way around this? i mean what if my computer broke down and I had to swap to a different computer?

The only way around it that I could think of would be to give him your NI login info, but then he'd have access to all your shit.

What, you can't sell Maschine? Probably mean at a time? And even that isn't true. I installed maschine on my main production pc, and on my travel laptop.
I've also sold NI software, on a couple of occasions, and it couldn't have been easier.

You know, I was just looking at some software the otherday, and the edu license was transferable, so long as the transferee was also a student or teacher.

yea I did that when I sold Ableton but it seems NI are pretty watertight on this

I sold my final scratch and it was easy to transfer the license back in the day
I just purchased my friends Traktor and the license transfer is now a process that seems to take forever..
he just authorized it in his name, on my comp. pain in the ass when it comes time to update / upgrade, etc...

I'm pretty sure you can transfer it but it can't be running on both computers at the same time. So you can give it to him but you can't open it up on your computer while he's working.
