Legality under European Law

European legislation recognizes the legality of reselling software licenses under certain conditions. The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has ruled that software licenses, including those distributed digitally, may be resold as long as:

  • The license was originally acquired legally

  • The original owner no longer uses the license after resale

This legal framework supports the secondary software market, giving consumers more choice and better prices.
