Might sound like a random question but I bought Photoshop CS6 (student teacher edition) and as I now want to purchase InDesign I want to sell my PS licence, mainly because I can't buy a student teacher edition of InDesign and only a create suite which also includes PS CS6.

So if I buy the creative suite I will have 2 licences for PS and only need one.

So can you sell your licences to someone else? I'm guessing even if you can that the student teacher part complicates things as the new owner would need to be eligable for that type of licence?
 
Whilst strictly not legal I suspect that even if you did sell it you wouldn't ever be prosecuted.

I wouldn't say that.

I work for a large I.T re-seller and have done for about 15 years. During that time I have heard of only one customer being took to court by Microsoft for licence issues. Adobe do it all the time.

True. Ms are like "yeah do the licence audit whenever", adobe are more "WE WANT YOUR LICENCE NUMBERS NOW OR WE'LL SEND THE BOYS ROUND".

:D

Seriously though I'd suspect adobe have more piracy / mis-licensing issues due to the (ridiculously) high cost of their products. One reason I suspect they're moving towards cloud as its easier to control.

Trouble with clouds is that keep moving same as the UK TV license in an upward spiral:'(
Adobe will I guess gradually put the price up and up I believe it already goes up per year for the first 3 years (not sure) once they have everyone hooked up will go the price. As for the OP I think it will become harder to sell any kind of Adobe product on because you have to jump through loops to re-register to someone else, like most of America, Adobe are so frightened that they will miss a buck they tie themselves up in knots. There are now so many other apps to choose from that deal with what photographers want and only photographers that again to sell on is becoming more difficult.
Of course this is JMO and sure someone will disagree.
