Michael,
   
  I'll admit up front that I'm not a lawyer and am more than a bit of a curmudgeon but if the manufacturer of something has stopped making, selling and supporting something, and I buy it, I should be entitled to do any damn thing I want to with it.
  Just one man's opinion in what should still be a free country.

  Interesting question, right to use, it's been 3 days and I haven't
notice anyone reply with an answer.

So, using an old HP slogan "What if?" You buy and old machine, and the
mfg has stop making it, selling it, and supporting it. Transferring the
LTU would have no purpose, so for the mfg to refute the RTU would also
serve no purpose. 

Would the NEW owner still be able to get third party support?

Or is this machine to be dismantled, and used for parts only?

What about an RTU? Or is that going to cost too much?

you can still use a box that doesn't have a (LTU) transferable user
license, you just cant get HP support for it or buy any HP software
for
it, other than that, its the same as having a "licensed" box.
