Planning to sell my MK3, what will the buyer get when I transfer the MASCHINE MK3 HW license?

Hello everyone,

I'm planning to sell my Maschine MK3. I originally bought it as part of a bundle that included the KOMPLETE 13 ULTIMATE Collector's Edition, which I would like to keep and not include in the sale. As far as I understand the license transfers, it only makes sense to transfer the "MASCHINE MK3 HW (hw=hardware?)" license to the buyer.

My question is: what exactly does the buyer get in this case? Would they still receive the full “Maschine experience” as if they had bought the device new, or would they be missing something important, like the Maschine software? I want to atleast let the buyer know what he has to buy on top of it if it's not transferable in my case.

I want to be a fair seller and not mislead anyone, but I'm not entirely sure about how it all works, especially since I mostly used the device as a MIDI controller.

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

If you transfer the hardware only the buyer will receive the same included base software as you got when you bought. To maintain you upgrade paths relying on these base software you keep the licenses too. As you bought your Maschine Mk3 long before the release of Maschine 3 software the buyer most likely will still get Maschine 2 software.

The purchaser will get the same Maschine software that you got when you originally bought the Maschine. You get to keep that software as well. I'm almost certain that you retain the Komplete Collection if you sell only the Maschine hardware, but I'd recommend checking with support which you can do here - https://bit.ly/NI_Support_All

I wasn't 100% sure if the Komplete Collection would be classed as part of the bundle. I'm almost certain it's not, but worth checking
