For sale yes. I have never personally seen folks giving away k1000 but she
can keep reading those magazines and perhaps one day it will be there.

People can become sick, move away, decide that scanning stuff isn't right for them, enjoy using Fine Reader better instead of K 1000 for example.
There is a mass market in used CCTVs and I have seen notetakers, and screen reading software for sale in the backs of Braille Forum and Braille Monitor. Why not Kesy, smile.
After all she can only ask.
I recieved a brailler from a elderly neighbor's sister, who could no longer use it. I received several writing guides from my previous place of employment because they didn't know what they were, but i did.
So... it happens.
I do know one individual who sold his copy of Kesy on Ebay, as he didn't want it anymore. Why I don't know but he did.

Amy if I donated my copy of k1000 I would give up my license. I would then have to buy a new copy to get a license. I simply cannot think of a reason why anyone would donate a copy of a licensed program to someone unless that person died and no longer needed a scanning software package. If, for instance, the person wanted to change from Open Book to K1000, Kurzweil has a trade in policy but the person has to give kurzweil their OB license number. Hope this makes the process clearer.
