This License Transfer Policy (“Policy”) sets out Foundry’s rules for issuing replacement or substitute licenses and licence keys for the use of Foundry software products. If you wish to: (a) move license keys from one computer to another or, in the case of an Offline Floating License (as defined in Foundry’s EULA), from one license server to another; (b) transfer license(s) from perpetual license(s) (with active support and maintenance) to annual subscription license(s); and/or (c) transfer license(s) from offline license(s) to login-based license(s), then you agree to follow the rules set out in this Policy.

This Policy forms part of, and should be read together with, our End User License Agreement available from: https://www.foundry.com/eula (“EULA”).

  1. PARTIES

    1. The Foundry Visionmongers Limited (company number 04642027) with its principal offices at 5 Golden Square, London, W1F 9HT ("Foundry", “we”, “us” or “our”).
    2. You, the licensee of Foundry software product(s) acting via a duly authorised individual and wishing to effect a license transfer ("you" or “your”).

  2. BACKGROUND

    1. Foundry has supplied and licensed certain software products (“Software”) to you under the terms of our EULA.
    2. In order to guard against unlicensed use of the Software, a licence key is required to access and enable the Software.
    3. You wish to:
      a) move a licence key to another computer to allow you to use the Software on the other computer. (or, in the case of an Offline Floating License, from one license server to another);
      b) transfer a license from a perpetual license (with active support and maintenance) to an annual subscription license; and/or
      c) transfer a license from an offline license to a login-based license.
    4. All references in this Policy to “computer” include both physical and virtual machines.

  3. OUR APPROACH

    1. We review any license transfer requests for our Software in accordance with this Policy. However, the decision as to whether or not to allow any transfer, the issuing of replacement or substituted license keys, and/or the approval of a new server location, as applicable, are always at our sole discretion.
    2. We may consider licence transfer requests where: 
      a) the original computer, or computer component from which we determine the system ID number, or the relevant server, has been lost, stolen, damaged, upgraded or replaced;
      b) you are changing from a perpetual license (with active support and maintenance) to an annual subscription license; and/or
      c)you are changing from an offline license to a login-based license
       
    3. We will not allow license transfer requests where the Software is eligible for our maintenance and support program (as described at https://www.foundry.com/maintenance-and-support), if your paid access to that program has lapsed.
    4. Where we agree to a license transfer request:
      a) the new license key will be for the same Software product and version, options and license configuration as the original license key, unless you are changing from a perpetual license (with active support and maintenance) to an annual subscription license.
      b) when you are changing from a perpetual license (with active support and maintenance) to an annual subscription license, the new subscription license shall be for the same (or equivalent, in our sole discretion) Software product and version, and in the same quantity, as the original perpetual license.
      c) when you are changing from an offline license to a login-based license, the new login-based license shall be for the same (or equivalent, in our sole discretion) Software product and version, and in the same quantity, as the original offline license.
      d) we reserve the right to charge an administrative fee(s) towards the cost of our time and management in effecting the transfer.
    5. We do not allow license transfers:
      a)to a computer or server located in another country; 
      b) to your parent company, subsidiary, affiliate, associated company, branch or office.
      c)when you are involved in any process relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, administration, or you cease to conduct all (or substantially all) of your business; or
      d) when you are in breach of any of your obligations to Foundry (including any obligation to pay any amount which is due to Foundry).
    6. We may consider license transfer requests of Student/Staff license keys that have been bought at a discount under our Education Policy.
    7. Unless you specify to the contrary on the request form, each request for transferring or changing the type of licenses will be deemed to cover all eligible licenses of the product and type to which the request relates on the relevant computer or server, as applicable
