Posted: Fri Jun 20, 2008 2:49 pm Post subject: Can I buy used TT5 software? |
|
|
Is it possible to buy someone's unwanted TT5 software pack and have it activated on my PDA, or will I fall foul of TT's EULA which seems to state state the licence is not transferable?
Has anyone managed to buy or successfully transfer a TT5 licence to another user (as opposed to another one of their own devices)?
Thanks.
p.s. I know there are moody copies widely available, but would like to keep it legal if I can. |

If you can be assured that it is a genuine new (unused) TT5 then yes. But if it's been used then it legally shouldn't be re-sold.
If people are tempted there are some issues you should be aware of..
If the person selling it has upgraded it to TT6 then the unlock code will NOT work. And if they have used it on more than one device then you may not be able to unlock it for up to 6 months.
Also the maps will be woefully out of date.... _________________ Phil |

If you are offered anything less than this, walk away. _________________ Formerly known as Lost_Property

I bought TT5 Europe old stock and successfully installed it on an O2 XDA2 and am using their free month's Traffic trial. Worked nicely for me in UK and northern France (not Traffic, though). |

So, I can't sell my 'old' TT5, CD's, manuals etc., that are sitting here gathering dust. I thought that they may do somebody a good turn on Ebay ?
I could even put them on an old IPAQ PDA that is also surplus to my requirements..(no BT though.) |
