It's the best way really ifyou intend to carry on using Talks... And you get to keep any upgrade you have paid for or, for full version of talks and zooms or additional voices etc. -----Original Message----- From: talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Eleanor Burke Sent: 27 November 2009 16:07 To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [talks-uk] Re: licensing That is a thouoght OK Paul. After you did say about getting Vodafone to pay for the Talks transfer, I asked them likewise and they agreed and credited my account £50.00. ----- Original Message ----- From: "All formats" <allformats@xxxxxxxxx> To: <talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, November 27, 2009 3:56 PM Subject: [talks-uk] Re: licensing Surely it is tied to the Customer still? But, tis why I get vodafone to pay for my phone transfer licence rather than starting over with their basic Talks when I already have paid extra for upgrading etc. -----Original Message----- From: talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Eleanor Burke Sent: 27 November 2009 15:47 To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [talks-uk] Re: licensing Indeed I think even with a non transferrable lisence Talks on a phone can only be of benefit to a blind person familiar with it or who wants to try it out. Now then let me ask this one. One gets talks Standard on the phone from Vodafone but am I correct in that one can then upgrade that Talks to Premium, surely with the theory described by those who are Talks Dealers, then Talks Standard belongs to vodafone and cannot be upgraded? ----- Original Message ----- From: "All formats" <allformats@xxxxxxxxx> To: <talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, November 27, 2009 2:44 PM Subject: [talks-uk] Re: licensing I would say that a full copy of talks is on the phone but that it was not upgradable and the buyer would have to pay the £150.00 for a new copy. I haven't always known that fact though. And on further reflection may even take talks off the phone if selling it as you can't really sell the phone for more saying Talks is on as it really isn't. I guess it is more OK if the person knows and is prepared to accept the situation as is. I'm thinking it through as you can see <smiles>!! -----Original Message----- From: talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Scott C Sent: 27 November 2009 13:46 To: Talks List Talks List Subject: [talks-uk] licensing Personally I'd say a full copy of talks is on 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.

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

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.

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. From: Adrian <mailto:adrian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, November 26, 2009 10:19 PM To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [talks-uk] Re: to the moderator 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.

To The Moderator 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.

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. Bridie Littler ________________________________ No virus found in this incoming message.
