I am interested in purchasing a pre-owned Mac from a private seller, and I found one which has Final Cut Pro X already installed on it. I confirmed with the owner that this was a legal, licensed copy, which it is, which means it is registered to his Apple ID.
According to the License Agreement for Final Cut Pro X, it IS legal to perform a one-time transfer of the ownership of the software.
" 3. Transfer. You may not rent, lease, lend or sublicense the Apple Software. You may, however, make a one-time permanent transfer of all of your license rights to the Apple Software to another party , provided that: (a) the transfer must include all of the Apple Software, including all its component parts, original media, printed materials and this License; (b) you do not retain any copies of the Apple Software, full or partial, including copies stored on a computer or other storage device; and (c) the party receiving the Apple Software reads and agrees to accept the terms and conditions of this License. All components of the Apple Software are provided as part of a bundle and may not be separated from the bundle and distributed as standalone applications."
So my question is simple: How does one perform this transfer? I would like to associate my Apple ID with this copy of Final Cut Pro X, so that if anything ever happened, and I needed to receive support, or had to re-install it, or if I restored the Mac from a backup, that it would all work again, with my Apple ID.
