Once sold, I could keep using the software, using the copy I made. And now the person to whom I sold the original can use it (or repeat what I did).”

The software involved in this ruling was traded back to an AutoDesk licensed dealer, for value, in exchange for a new version, and then later resold by the dealer when it became more valuable.
Thanks. That is a BIG difference.
