Yes, but the replacement market in software consists of upgrades, not of selling the old and buying something new.

Totally different than in the world of tangible goods.

The only time you'd sell a software license is if you stopped using the package completely. And that does cut in to the manufacturers margins. Hence the suit. Glad they lost.
