Microsoft has stunned some in the British reseller community by allowing a discount dealer to sell secondhand volume licenses, opening the floodgates for a used-software market in the U.K.
Disclic this week began offering secondhand software licenses from insolvent or downsizing companies to other businesses with Microsoft's blessing.
"Yes, we are doing that," said Jonathan Horley, a director at Disclic. "It's been in planning for a year and a half. Previously, a lot of companies didn't see software licenses as an asset, but this helps them see that."
