Per the ZEISS EULA (End User License Agreement), Calypso software is generally non-transferrable.  That is, if Company A sells their CMM to Company B, the software license does not transfer over to Company B.

However, if the CMM in question has an active SMA (Software Maintenance Agreement) at the time Company A sells the machine to Company B, then the software is indeed transferrable with no fee.

In the no SMA scenario (non-transferrable), Aftermarket Sales will offer to Company B a new License and SMA of Calypso software at a 50% discount from current List Price.  This is 50% discount is not required but is a generous concession by ZEISS being that the non-transferability is often unforeseen by Company B.  Any additional software modules that had existed on the CMM originally may also be offered at 50% discount.  Additional software desired not part of the original machine may be offered at List Price (or up to 10% discount if desired by Aftermarket Sales).
