Why buy relicensed software
Relicensed software provides an alternative to high and constantly increasing Microsoft software licensing costs, which happen due to newly added functionality that might not be always needed for your organisation. Achieve cost savings of up to 30% compared to the latest Microsoft version.

The buying process
The process of buying relicensed software does not differ from acquiring new Microsoft software. Capefoxx can assist you with that process.
01
Offer & agreement
Ensure you get the correct products suited for your needs.
02
Obtain the right documentation
Licensee is obliged to provide documentation of where licenses come from, a full license chain and a deletion statement from the previous owner, to ensure they have uninstalled the software.
03
Get familiar with licensing terms
When acquiring an older version, the license terms might differ from the new software product terms.
04
Transfer
Once you sign the offer, make sure the license is transferred to your organisation, along with proper documentation, and not just a key.
05
Audit secure statement
Our partner Deloitte provides a conformity statement, validating our licensing documentation and indicating that licenses bought in the relicensed software market are fully compliant with the IP law.

The legal foundation
The transfer of software licenses, given specific conditions are met, is legal in the EU EFTA trade zone. Same conditions still apply to the UK market after Brexit. The legal basis for this is referred to as the ‘principle of exhaustion’. This principle means that the copyright holder’s exclusive right to distribute a copy of a copyrighted product is exhausted on its first legal sale.
The distribution of licenses is subject to certain legal conditions
01
Read More
Products must be individually marketable (i.e., standard software products).
02
Read More
Licenses issued by the manufacturer must be perpetual.
03
Read More
The software must have been distributed legally.
04
Read More
The software needs to be transferred in real terms - the seller’s copy of the software must be made unusable.
