Buyback Program
Turn idle software assets into liquid capital. We buy back unused perpetual licences from European companies undergoing restructuring, M&A, software consolidation, or cloud migrations.
We prepare all transfer agreements, uninstallation affidavits, and compliance documentation. Direct B2B bank payment upon verified transfer agreement.
How the Buyback Process Works
Three straightforward steps to monetize idle software packages legally across the European Economic Area.
Submit Licence Inventory
Send us your list of surplus perpetual licences (vendor, product version, quantity, and licence serial numbers or invoice history).
Receive Binding Valuation
Our licensing team evaluates current European market demand and presents a formal buyout proposal promptly after document review.
Legal Transfer & Payment
We execute the EU transfer contract, verify uninstallation declarations, and disburse direct bank transfer payment to your corporate account upon agreement execution.

Required Verification Documents
To document a lawful transfer under EU Directive 2009/24/EC, seller companies provide standard proof of original acquisition:
- ✓ Proof of Original Acquisition Original vendor invoice or licence key confirmation showing initial purchase within the EU/EEA.
- ✓ Unbroken Chain of Ownership Clear transfer documentation if the software was previously transferred during M&A operations.
- ✓ Declaration of Uninstallation Formal signed affidavit confirming complete removal and uninstallation of all software copies.
Frequently Asked Questions: Licence Buyback
Legal requirements, documentation criteria, and transfer procedures for European organisations.
Which CAD/CAM software licences does InnoSfera buy back? +
We evaluate perpetual, fully paid commercial licences from major engineering software vendors, including Autodesk (AutoCAD, Inventor), Dassault Systèmes (CATIA), and Siemens Digital Industries Software (Siemens NX, Solid Edge). Standalone and concurrent network licences are evaluated subject to contract terms.
What documentation is required to sell surplus licences? +
To document a compliant transfer under EU law, the selling organisation must provide: (1) proof of original acquisition within the EU/EEA (e.g. original vendor invoice or purchase agreement), (2) documentation of an unbroken chain of title, and (3) a signed declaration of uninstallation confirming all local copies have been permanently uninstalled.
How does the licence valuation process work? +
Send us the vendor, product, version and number of seats, plus proof of the original purchase. We check the documentation and prepare a free, no-obligation valuation.
How does the legal transfer and payment handover work? +
Once you accept the valuation, both companies sign a written transfer agreement and an uninstallation declaration. Payment terms are set out in that agreement.
Which countries are eligible for licence buyback? +
Companies registered in the EU or EEA can apply. Each licence is checked individually, because vendor terms differ.
Is selling secondary software legal under EU law? +
Yes, under specific statutory conditions. Under Directive 2009/24/EC and established Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) case law—principally Case C-128/11 (UsedSoft v Oracle)—a copyright holder's distribution right is exhausted upon the initial authorized sale of a perpetual software copy within the EEA, provided the original copy was made permanently unusable by the seller.
What happens to our existing software installation after the transfer? +
Under CJEU case law and copyright regulations, all local installations, backups, and media copies corresponding to the sold licences must be permanently removed and rendered unusable before or upon transfer completion. A formal affidavit of deinstallation is executed as part of the legal transfer documentation pack.
