The timing is better at the end of the fiscal year, but I don't think anyone would refuse a decent sale, at this point. You should expect to receive a discount of up to 30% for a license in the $18-22K range. Lower end licenses should be no less than 15% off of list price. You won't get any discounts on ALC, however.

Also, the sales lady would only offer me 10% off, any advise?

It can be sold, if one knows how to do it. It must be done within the context of a corporate structure. (selling of divisions and assets) Not something that you are going to come across very often. What would be the advantage for someone to sell, anyways?
I don't know what package you are trying to purchase, but it must be something in the $10-12K range. I bought a bundle once in that price range, and they only gave me 10%. Either push harder, or wait until the end of the year. That's my advice. (and my experience)

Failing businesses can liquidate their assets, and if they sold a portion of their business - say the CAD department - any assets associated with that operating division would be legally owned by the new owner, and existing contracts (i.e. - ALC) would have to be honored.
But you can't just sell it as a stand alone license. The answer is, because it's in the contract.
