The software license agreement printed in the TradeStation 4 user manual
contains:
"Grant of License. Omega grants to you the non-exclusive license to use one
copy of the enclosed software program (the "Software") and data (the "Data")
on a single terminal connected to a single computer. This Agreement and the
license granted may not be transferred, assigned, leased, rented,
sublicensed, or otherwise transferred by you."
If you have a second screen or keyboard on your computer are you in
violation of the license agreement? It seems from that language that you
would be.

John is right. It is very unusual for a software supplier to not allow the
transfer of software licenses. Transfers usually are free of any charge,
except where a new user of complex software is apt to need extra help, or
where a hardware security block must be reprogrammed.
Scientific Approaches always has allowed the transfer of its software
licenses. Our policy is explained in a Frequently Asked Question page at
our web site:
