    How exactly would you sell Logic? Hand someone your Apple account password? And the buyer would have to abandon their own Apple account and use yours?

    (I suppose they'd get all your other Apple apps and data as a bonus extra...)

    I don't think you've thought this through much...

    I would recommend you selling Logic but I think that would not be easy, if possible at all.

    I'm not sure there is a big market for used educational versions of Ableton. Compared with Logic, every new version of Ableton is educational. When you have to pay again, you should learn something from it.

    Why would you give up something that is perfectly useful and, for which you have a perpetual license? I Do not get the logic there...

    You can't sell (or better call it "license transfer") any Apple software that is tied to your Apple ID at all. Although there are countries like Germany where you have the right to resell any product, and I'd really be interested how this would work out, but I assume in the end only the lawyers would get some money out of it.

    Don't know about Ableton, but I assume any "edu" software that was bought using an educational discount can't be resold also.

    Both and buy Reaper. If you have to choose, sell Live . . . they will have a new version each year to suck your money dry. At least Apple won't do that with Logic . . . yet, you'll need to keep your Mac up-to-date. ;-)

    Edu versions have to be reactivated after the license runs out each year you have to renew it a perpetual license means you own it outright

    You have all the time in the world. That's total BS, Ableton does not require EDU licenses to be 'reactivated' every year. It's the same as buying a full license, you just need student or teacher credentials to get it. Aside from that, it's the same software as everyone else uses.

    Appleā€™s software licenses, including Logic Pro, are tied to the Apple ID used for purchase.
    These licenses are non-transferable, meaning they cannot be resold or transferred to another user.

    Why would you sell Logic which comes with free future update.
