Our used software customers: smart and satisfied

As a large, international company, we use licences of usedSoft in different departments. I first heard about this offer from a colleague who recommended usedSoft to me. He himself had already purchased there for our company. We did not have to think about it for a long time, as the price was extremely favourable! We were also convinced by the extremely professional order processing. Especially the service was very customer-friendly. All this met our expectations exactly: To save time and money without losing quality. Just as the products themselves were recommended to me, I can now also absolutely recommend usedSoft!

Thanks to usedSoft, we could save more than 50 % purchase costs when buying software. I first learned from the possibility to update our licences in a cost-saving way through the second-hand market in an internet bulletin board. Due to the more than professional winding-up, I got easily convinced that we found an absolutely reliable partner in usedSoft.

Anyone who wants to be successful in trade needs a keen sense of where purchases can be realized economically. Therefore, a true businessman can scarcely overlook the unique savings potential that the second-hand software market, and in particular usedSoft, offers. As a satisfied usedSoft customer for many years, I will continue to buy second-hand software in future, whenever possible.

As one of the world’s largest independent music suppliers, we deal with the licensing of songs for films, advertising spots and radio plays, among other things. As a result, we have a profound knowledge of usage rights and are well aware of how important the correct licensing is. That’s why we always turn to usedSoft when it comes to software licensing. At usedSoft you get the right professional approach and the right prices. We have been a customer at usedSoft for many years now and are really pleased with the results. Whichever piece of software we’ve bought from usedSoft, it has always paid off. Used software is simply cheaper than new software – the product is still the same since a licence can never wear out.

We purchased usedSoft licenses for Microsoft Office. The used software was much more affordable. Yet the quality is the same. There’s no reason to spend more than necessary. We’re also very pleased with this development. The purchase of used software went very smoothly and reliably. We warmly recommend usedSoft.

For three years now, we have been buying from usedSoft repeatedly. For example, we have purchased Office 2016. This version is considerably cheaper than Office 2019 and still offers us everything we need. By buying used licenses at usedSoft we save up to 50 % of the costs. On top of that, the order process and handling are very professional. We ourselves are a traditional company and therefore we appreciate established, reliable partners who know what they are doing. I can definitely recommend usedSoft.

We needed new operating systems for our administration servers. Thanks to the media, we discovered the market for used software and usedSoft. Of course, the low price was decisive for the purchase. But also the competent and friendly service, the simple order processing and the quick delivery convinced us. We are looking forward to cooperating with usedSoft also in the future and can only recommend the company.

As a regional beverage producer the private brewery Hofmühl GmbH strives to produce the best quality beer. That same focus on quality applies to all divisions in our company. In usedSoft we have found an IT partner, who offers ideal value for money. Without forfeiting quality we can save on purchasing thanks to this cost-effective alternative – money we can now invest to achieve even greater improvements for our customers. With fast and simple handling we were able to implement UsedSoft’s used software immediately without a problem – altogether a successful investment.

As a cosmetics company we provide our customers with products whose quality they can rely on. We expect the same when we purchase a product as a customer. In the case of UsedSoft we have not been disappointed. By purchasing used software licences we have received the same quality as by purchasing them new – but under significantly more favourable terms. UsedSoft’s advice and processing were fast and straightforward. A worthwhile investment that we can only recommend.

Klagenfurt International Airport has set itself the goal of operating efficiently and avoiding unnecessary costs. Like other Austrian and German airports, we have realised that considerable expenses can be saved, especially when purchasing software. With software from usedSoft, we were thus able to prevent licence costs from “taking off” along with our aircraft. The savings were remarkable, but the service was also impressive: From the quotation to the delivery, the cooperation with usedSoft was recommendable. A precision landing!

The software market has long been dominated by monopolies. The fact that the used software business undertaken by UsedSoft has created more competition can only be welcomed. As independent legal practitioners, we know what the underlying law is. There can be no objection to the resale of software that has been originally sold by the author. The trade in software already in circulation is legal according to Article 12 of the Swiss Copyright Act – no matter what the software manufacturer has to say about it. The cantonal court in Zug has already made this clear.

With usedSoft, the Archdiocese of Salzburg has the possibility to purchase outstanding licences quickly and easily, even if it concerns an older version. With Microsoft, significantly higher expenses would have been necessary – assuming that the older version is still available at all. Therefore, we will continue to purchase licences from usedSoft, as the handling is quick, easy and efficient. All in all, a successful cooperation.

As a municipal authority, it is our duty to save costs whenever it is sensible and feasible to do so. One example here would be when purchasing software. The used software market not only offers enormous saving potential, it also provides the same quality as newly purchased products. After all, software does not wear out. That is why we chose usedSoft, which was well under the new software price. The process was uncomplicated and expedient. Therefore, we can sincerely recommend the used software market and usedSoft to other government authorities as well.

usedSoft – a clever idea that has prevailed despite much resistance in the market. usedSoft is especially effective, offers professional handling and super low prices. We heartily recommend usedSoft.

Our decision to opt for usedSoft licences was certainly based on business management reasons. As a medium-sized company we are confronted with a more and more increasing competition day by day. In this regard, there is no excuse for the major software developers to avoid such competition by forming monopolistic cartels. It’s high time for a liberalisation of the software market. We caused our lawyers to thoroughly check the lawfulness of usedSoft’s business model. There was a clear result: The trade with used software is lawful. Any contradictory allegations made by Microsoft and Co. are nothing but pure intimidations which we will not accept as German medium-sized business entrepreneurs. Apart from that, we do not see any reason to pay more for software than absolutely necessary.

The EHI Retail Institute has more than 500 members from all sectors of trade. Procurement is a central issue for all of these businesses. Thus, it is no coincidence that trading companies were among the first ever customers of second-hand software dealers. Back then, several of our members called our attention to the tremendous savings potential of up to 50%. Since we consider integrity and reliability absolutely essential, we have been working with usedSoft from the beginning – and we never ever had any regrets about this cooperation, neither with regard to purchase transactions nor sales transactions. Now, you will find various EHI members among the customers of usedSoft – and the trend is clearly upward.

We neither want nor need to always get the most up-dated software. Due to the fact that when buying new software it is impossible to buy a great number of older programs, we contacted usedSoft. We had already been impressed a lot by the more than positive feedback regarding customer queries on usedSoft’s website. Moreover, we got convinced by the favorable prices and the fast and professional winding-up of the deal and know that we have chosen the right supplier.

Bad Oexen Hospital is a specialised medical facility for oncological rehabilitation. As part of the modernisation and expansion of our client structures we have decided for the first time to acquire the software we need on the used market. The financial benefits have convinced us. In looking for a supplier, after close scrutiny we chose usedSoft. Their advice was capable, delivery was fast and their billing system transparent. We are very satisfied and have not regretted our decision.

Like everywhere in the newspaper industry, we have also had to struggle with sharply declining revenues in the subscription sector. This is why we are constantly on the lookout for methods of automation and cost-effective solutions. In doing our research we came across usedSoft. Initially, we were somewhat sceptical about the idea of used software, as we had no experience of used licences. Thanks to the many published judgements by German and European courts on the issue of used software, which say the trade is legal, we’re confident that we get very good advice from usedSoft. Our reliable and friendly collaboration with usedSoft has only confirmed our decision was right. We all know it’s virtually impossible to get routine work done without Microsoft products. So why pay excessive prices when there are cost-effective alternatives?

As the executive board we represent the interests of our members. This also means reflecting upon our expenses with greater care and being cost-conscious. Just for that reason I find the business idea of usedSoft exceedingly clever: Why must we pay more for something that is available just as well at a reduced rate? We could also ask: Why retain something after it is no longer needed? usedSoft had first applied this principle of “sustainability” to the software branch. That a small German company gave this impetus and thereby revolutionized the market is really an extraordinary accomplishment. It shows that creativity and courage pay off in the truest sense – and in particular not just in the film and media sector.

We had to increase our stock of Office Professional licences by a significant number of licences. It was therefore clear to us from the very beginning which kind of software we needed. Thus, we could focus our interest on chosing the most favourable supplier when buying it. This was definitely usedSoft: In contrast to buying new licences, we could make a saving of 50 percent. The cost advantage relating to “used” licences is more than obvious. In addition, usedSoft’s offer was not only favourable, but usedSoft was the only used software supplier being able to immediately supply such licences. Due to usedSoft’s competent service, we feel being in good hands with usedSoft. usedSoft’s order processing is transparent and reliable.

As a manufacturer and supplier of optical devices, Bresser has a clear view – also when it comes to its service providers. It is not only us who always find a fair solution for our customers, but also usedSoft made us an offer we could not refuse: With used software licences from usedSoft, we received a product as good as new at significantly more favourable conditions – a real alternative thanks to the excellent price-performance ratio.

My first contact with usedSoft was several years ago in the early stages of the used software market. This positive experience has led me to continue the relationship. Today I am an IT manager at Midi Europe, importer of ISUZU commercial vehicles in Europe. I was in a situation where the evolution of business and the need for updated software required a substantial investment. After a technical and legal review we chose to renew our office automation products with usedSoft. This allowed us to save between 40 and 50 % of costs without sacrificing any product quality. Being able to purchase single licenses as opposed to fixed packages offered by other vendors, allowed us to custom-build our suite of client and server products as well.

In the internet, we came across the opportunity to buy used software, and we do not want to miss it anymore. With the help of usedSoft we could save about 30 percent of costs. And the best is: no quality impairment, but a good price. We are fully satisfied! Please go on with it!

As a conscientious manufacturer of baby food, we are used to paying particular attention to very high quality. We demand the same from the partners with which we work. For this reason, we decided for usedSoft for our software purchases. In addition to the financial benefits gained by using used software, the customer dialogue was always friendly and our contact partners were accessible for all of our inquiries – a very pleasant and recommendable cooperation during which our questions were handled very quickly.

The excellent quality of consulting services and the considerable price advantages offered by the software second-hand market was a highly welcome surprise. Due to the excellent consulting services provided by usedSoft based on which we could avoid a not only expensive but also unnecessary overlicensing, we were able to benefit from considerable savings. The final price amounting to almost 70 % below our planned budget was really impressive. Due to such savings, we are now able to speed up other IT-investments.

Due to the solution provided by usedSoft which perfectly matches with the needs of our company we are now able to support our own customers in an even more efficient way to increase the labour productivity of their companies by at least 20 % within a period of 12 months.

The purchase of second hand software saved us about 50 percent of the original price. As an economic thinking company that was a convincing reason for us. We are very pleased with usedSoft: Especially the uncomplicated processing and the quick transaction convinced us. The employees gave us qualified advices at all times and were very kind. We highly recommend usedSoft to everybody who is requiring software.

As a magazine for engineers, we are as passionate about innovative solutions as our readers. Especially if they are wallet-friendly as well. At usedSoft, we got Microsoft licences not only for a very small price but also fast and trouble-free.
