Current US price for Designer 10 including the subscription for new version=
s
is US $6995.00.

Not sure how willing Altium is to allow license re-sale/transfers currently=
..
In the past (1998 - 2005) they approved all of the license re-sale/transfer=
s
that were requested. However, they made it clear in the 2003 and newer EULA=
s
that you need prior written approval from Altium before you can sell your
license.

In other countries you may have rights of re-sale but, do to the September
2010 court ruling in the Vernor v. Autodesk, Inc. appeal, in the USA the
right to re-sell software may require the vendors approval (depends on the
EULA).
