Nope....read the license agreement.   Does the agreement grant the license
holder the ability to transfer the license?  Many agreements do not extend this
to the licensee, and most will explicitly reserve this right to only the
product
owner/vendor.   This would be especially true if the license is for
products that
may be tier or user-count based.

HP knows that license transfers/etc. will be an issue after 2006 and from what
I understand, have either been working on or have formulated a plan to address
it.   Whether or not IBMs situation also applies here I don't believe has been
determined.
