Turn your surplus licenses into capital
Selling your surplus Microsoft software is a smart way to turn dormant capital into a valuable asset. We purchase your surplus licenses at attractive prices thus enabling your company to generate significant income aside from your standard business.
Why sell licenses
Software licenses that you no longer need – or have never used – are dormant capital. Consider selling such licenses, since doing so is both possible and legal in Europe.

When to sell your licenses
Based on the Microsoft product usage rights (PURs) it is more likely to sell surplus licenses when your renewal is becoming effective, regardless of your company having deinstalled the existing installation.
01
If you have double-licensed to cover an existing usage, when signing up for Microsoft cloud products: O365/ M365/ Visio or Project, online based or subscription model.
02
If you have signed Server Cloud Enrolment (SCE) agreements, by choosing subscription products for the entire data centre instead of renewing the software assurance.
03
If you are undergoing a merger, acquisition or centralization of the server environment.
The selling process
Software license transfer is legal throughout the EU and the UK although several conditions must be strictly followed. Capefoxx ensures these conditions are adhered to by using a transparent workflow.

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.
