The EU Software Directive overrides any prohibitive transfer clauses that may be found within a software licence agreement.

Microsoft has no power lawfully to oppose the sale of any qualifying pre-owned licences which were first legitimately placed on the market within any of the countries currently forming part of the European Economic Area (in other words, the EU plus Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein).
