Yes, if you upgraded, and the upgrade did not include a COMPLETE set
of everything (including all files) then you can not sell the last revision.
If it did, then you can sell or transfer ownership to another party
ONLY IF you transfer ALL COPIES of that version plus the manuals
etc. You must destroy any copies that you have.
