E.g., Stage and Standard are, objectively, two substantially different products: one more instrument, more editing capabilities and double the price.</p><p>If you can&#039;t resell an upgraded license, that decreases the value of a used Stage license to almost nothing to anyone who is planning to upgrade.</p><p>Let&#039;s say we estimate the resale value of a transferrable license at 30% of its listed price. One could nitpick a bit at that figure, but it&#039;s a reasonable one to throw in some calculations.</p><p>Since Standard is listed at $269 that means it&#039;d be reasonable to buy a non-transferrable, used Standard license for $188 (-30%).</p><p>However, if you buy Stage used at $97 (-30%) and then pay <strong>full</strong> price for a non-transferrable $130 upgrade to Standard, it ends up costing you $227, that&#039;s 39 bucks you&#039;d blow up (30% of the upgrade.)</p><p>So the objective price of a Stage license for someone who wanted to upgrade would be more like $58. Take off the $29 transfer fee and the seller would be looking at $29 for their $139 investment, at which point they&#039;d probably rather keep the license for themselves.</p><p>Unless Modartt offers a 30% discounted upgrade for second-hand licenses or allows the upgrade to be transferred, that decreases substantially the market value of used Stage licenses, since they can&#039;t be transferred and it&#039;s not worth it to upgrade them.</p>]]></description>
