I sold my Storm ISP and I had purchased ART for $299. I contacted Dirac and had no issues transferring to the new owner. I don’t know if it is different for Storm units for some reason but if you have a question contact Dirac support.

Transfer between which device? Or do you talk between you and the buyer?

Purchased ART for the Storm ISP, sold Storm to another user, contacted Dirac and they transferred ART to other users Dirac account for that unit.

Okay, so this is a name change for the license for the same device. So, the same as the others.

The licenses not being transferable is pure greed. It is a lot of money already for one license.

You have to think of this as some sort of strange Software as a Service business model. As such, we're expected to pay for as long as we use the technology.
It's strange because you pay every once in a while (when you switch receiver) and not on a regular basis.

This should be seen as an option. Like a performance pack on a car that adds an exhaust and big brakes. It fits the vehicle, but it's difficult to remove and install on another model.
So these models will also sell for more, just like an amplifier equipped with Dirac.

This analogy is incorrect, because the "performance pack" works equally well for all models. After all, it would be easy to remove the license from one model and assign it to another. But they don't want that because it would result in fewer new licenses being sold. I transferred a Dirac license 10 years ago, and the process seems to be intentionally designed to be just as cumbersome as it was back then.

Performance brakes and an exhaust from a VW Golf won't fit a Polo or a BMW. But you get the idea, you have to think of it as an option linked to a serial number.
