Personally I'd say a full copy of talks is on the phone.

So really Jacky when people sell second-hand phones, they should not 
advertise them as having a fully licensed copy of TALKS as that license 
can't be sold with the phone. Of course people do sell the phone with TALKS 
on it, but legally they can only sell the phone, not TALKS. So when selling 
a phone on one of the lists, it would be more legally correct simply to say 
TALKS is installed, not licensed. It would then be up to the buyer to ask if 
the TALKS was a demo version or working, but the license always belongs to 
the original purchaser, as does the upgrade allowance.

Hi Jackie,

The upgrade is for the original licence owner, not someone else, to update 
their phone.

The confusion lies in the fact that the licence is non-transferable.

All the best

Steve

Confusing?  You can say that again.  What's the £50 cross-phone upgrade for 
then?  I'm a bit confuzzled now! (smile).

Saqib

To avoid any confusion you probably should do the upgrade before selling the 
phone. You can only sell your phone, not TALKS. But of course many people 
leave TALKS on the phone to get a higher price. The person who buys the 
phone never owns the TALKS as it is tied to you as well as to the phone. You 
own your upgrade allowance and can not sell it or no one should use it.

It's all confusing I know.

Hi can someone clarify the whole situation. If I wanted to sell my phone 
which has my license of Talks on it do I need to tell the buyer that they 
can't upgrade the license because of my desire to do a license transfer to 
another phone.

Seems to me if bridie was selling her phone and not the licence for talks 
she should of removed the licence before parting with the phone. Not at all 
unreasonable of someone receiving a phone with a licenced software package 
installed to assume that such software is part of the sales package.  A 
definite case of the seller trying to pass the buck when they have been 
proven at best lazy and at worst neglegent.

Find below an email that was posted but didn't make it to the list from 
Bridie who is the person I referred to in my posts.

When she was wrongly made to pay £150 because her licence had been taken 
over without her or nuance's permission, she was totally dumbfounded and had 
no option but to pay to carry on using talks on her new phone.

I think Bridie has explained the matter quite plainly in her email.

To be fair I feel that as Barbara Wilson requests that any other contact be 
to her personally I feel that it will be swept under the carpet and that is 
why perhaps Bridie's email should have been posted to at least allow other 
people to form their own opinion on the Licence Agreement.

Barabara regarding the emails from Barry Hughes I am the person he is 
referring to.  I sold you a Nokia e50 which was imediately upgraded without 
either mine or Nuances permission. When I needed to upgrade on my licence it 
then came to light that it had been hijacked from that  Phone leaving me 
having to pay the full Licence amount of £150.  After months of hassle and 
me finally threatning Legal Action this matter has recently been resolved 
throuhg Computer room services and I have been refunded the £100 with 
Nuances permission.

Perhaps this situation  would and should not have occurred if people adhered 
to the Licence Agreement.
