Can I sell licensed full version Master Collection CS5 without license transfer?

[fubar24x7]

I purchase a full version of Adobe Master Collection CS5 on eBay and registered it with Adobe. I am now using the Creative Cloud and do not need it anymore but apparently Adobe has a rule that if you purchased it from eBay and/or it was discounted by a high margin that you can not transfer the registration. Does this prevent me from selling it to a someone who does not mind that they can not register it?

I guess I am also asking - can someone use a licensed version of the Master Collection - install it on their computer and have full functionality - but not register it?

>install it on their computer and have full functionality - but not register it

For 30 days in trial mode... and then it will stop working... the programs MUST be registered and activated to continue after 30 days

So if I was willing to give them my Adobe ID where the products were registered then I can sell them?  That way there is no transfer of license, it remains licensed to the same Adobe ID.

No. Your AdobeID is yours alone - letting anyone else use it would breach your license.

There is no special limitation on transfer of software that was legally purchased from a reseller, even if it was discounted - with the exception of educational and volume licenses. You're only allowed to transfer four licenses in your lifetime (that's to stop people setting themselves up as a bulk reseller) but the same license can be transferred more than once.

>give them my Adobe ID

Oh wow!!! Talk about making identity theft easy... you would give your ID away!
