If you give or sell it to someone else, they have full use of the product. However, they have no support and are not eligible for upgrades of any kind unless they elect to change the registration. A change of registration costs $99. If a VIN upgrade is needed, there is also combination that offers both the change of registration and a one-step license upgrade (from 3 VINs to 10, or from 10 to Unlimited) for $199, a savings of $69 over doing the two things separately.
