No problem. My copy of Autocad is owned by XYZ-software installation inc. A wholly owned subsidiary whose only asset is a copy of Autocad, I can sell the company to anyone I want - the license is never transferred.

Some license agreements state that a change of control of the corporate owner is deemed an assignment requiring the licensor's consent.

[EDIT: Autodesk's EULA is one such - see section 9.1 in http://images.autodesk.com/apac_sapac_main/files/autocad_200...]

Pity Sun didn't think of that one !

As dctoedt notes, this needn't work in general. Contracts can distinguish between corporate entities and individuals.
