License removal and transfer to another V2?

[joecar]

How do you figure? If you were to assume that the mechanism designed to move the license exported and removed the entire license from the v2 (the process moves license 'abc' tied to s/n '123' and '456' off the v2 to a file, so say for example you had 1 license on the v2, you now have 0).

If you were talking about 'divorcing' the licensed controllers from the license on the v2 that they're 'married' to, I can see your point, but if you maintain the bond between the license and the licensed controller(s), I don't see the issue.

One such use case I can think of is say I have a vehicle the I've been tuning with efilive, and I decide to sell it. The new owner has a v2 as well. What's the issue with being able to remove the license in its entirety from my v2 and give it to the new owner of the vehicle?

Ok, I see your point, you're saying remove the married license from one V2 and add it to another V2 so this V2 can now flash that same ECM... good thought...

the problem I see (and I'm no expert) is when the license is in between V2's (i.e. on your PC, encrypted in a file) it is impossible to keep it from being duplicated (for example, copy the license file to a new PC and install V7/V8 software from scratch)...?

Currently, licenses residing on the V2 hardware is what provides a layer of security.

I think he means to totally delete it from V2 #1 before adding it to V2 #2 Joe so it can only be used on a single device at any one time, I can see the sense in this as the new owner doesn't want or need your old Licences, I ran into this back when I had HP, sold it then bought another so lost the original licenses..
