It seems to me that the USA transfer fee that GS charged to upgrade a copy of AC when purchased secondhand used to be about $200. This post http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=19740 makes me think it has increase rather dramatically. If true, this represents a significant erosion of the equity one has in the software. Anyone have any experience with this?

You set up a shelf company to buy the licenses you need and if you need to sell them, you sell the company to someone else.
It works if you've got quite a few seats. Its a legitimate way and has been done before. It then protects your investment and maintains ownership.
