Don't think so, but if I were in your shoes I would ask for a good deal, it's the buyers market today, you would be suprised what deals you can make if the timing is right.
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.
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)
I was hoping there was an outlet for say a failing autoparts supplier. The package I was looking at was ~25K I will get back with the salesperson and see what we can work out.
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.
