Usage and Full Rights Question

Post by Debbi »

I think I remember seeing something about this somewhere, but haven't been able to find it again. I'm hoping someone will just know the answer.

Once you have sold Usage Rights, is the Full Rights option disabled? I can see why a customer might not want to buy full rights for an article someone else has purchsaed usage rights to, but can also see buyers buying full rights anway if they are going to rework the article or use it for some other purpose. I've only sold unique or full rights so far so don't have any way to ferret it out :)

Thanks,

Hi, Debbi. Yes, the fullrights option disappears when a buyer purchases usage rights. I think, though, that the fullrights option is available to the buyer who purchases the usage rights -- I've had this happen to one of my articles a few weeks ago. The buyer bought usage rights the first time, and then a week later, he "upgraded" his purchase to fullrights (he paid the difference and I got the notification for it).
