How do you go about buying used software, with licenses?

I'm looking to buy Reason 5, five for a reason (unintentional pun). I've used it before, loved it, does everything I'd like so I'd not want to buy a more expensive later version. I've checked some on ebay that are used, but the sellers say that they'll "transfer licenses after sale". How exactly does that work?
 
propellorheadz force you to sign up to their website to activate your software

post reason 4 you were also issued with a usb stick authoriser that must be inserted to avoid having to login (you can not have it installed and login to your props account to authorise one time usage on a different computer)

be prepared to have to pay something to propheads as well to transfer the license to you i.e. make sure that the price asked is not going to end up more expensive than buying a newer version directly from propheads
 
It's probably best to do this in person.

This is coming from someone who purchased reason secondhand.

The only hiccup I ran into was being unable to complete the license transfer over the weekend.


good luck-
