Hi everyone 
Sometime ago I bought Unity Pro license along with iOS Pro, Flash Pro and Android. It was from european funds, however I have never actually used Unity and only had a bit of fun in the start. My life went into different direction of game testing and web startups.
Apparently the license cannot be sold or moved to another e-mail account.
Does anyone got any idea how I could monetize it? For example providing some service, that is not available with basic license?

'tis true what Amon says. In Europe you can do with your bought product as you wish. So trasferring your license from one account to another should not be a problem.
In which case you should contact unity sales and explain the process and your local law in detail and they should at least respond. Unity communication should be your first port of call
Regardless of outcome it will be nice to have the facts for your region.
Well, I wrote to Unity support before and they said they cannot do that.
This makes me wonder, cause I just sold Adobe license and there was not such problem. Honestly that money would save my christmas 
What to do?
I have asked around on law forum, I’ve read eula again and my conclusion is to think not twice but trice before I buy something expensive 
I’ve never understood this point of view. We get the choice to buy or not, and the terms are pretty clear when we make the decision. I’m not exactly a fan of that particular aspect of the terms either (I like the “Like A Book” style license) but I chose to abide by them.
And in the context of a game engine, the license is pretty alright. Look at the norm only a few years back, where the prices were many times higher and the licenses were even more restrictive! (It wasn’t restricted to developers but to projects, so even if they same people started working on a different project then they potentially had to pay the licensing again.)
I understand what you are saying and I do not disagree. My post was a bit angst because when some one posts that they want to sell their license a mod or admin posts to say licenses are not transferable. They shouldn’t do this. In fact when they do post this it gives the impression to people not in the know that what they have just read is truth. It’s true in certain parts of the world but not true in others. They know this yet they still post to say the license is not transferable.
Why post something like that which would prevent something totally legal in Europe?
The reply should be something along the lines of:
Yeah, I see where you’re coming from then. My thoughts are that employees or volunteers are to some degree representatives of the company, so they can’t contradict what’s in the company’s formal legal agreements with its customers, especially on a public forum.
I think if you had setup a company, and registered Unity under that company name, and sell the company to whoever - it should be legal. As long as the next owner of the company use the same company name, there is no legal reason for Unity to refuse such transaction.
Despite not being a lawyer, I’m pretty sure in that case it’d be fine regardless of the name of the company changing in the process, since the purchase is made by a legal entity (the company) and ownership of the purchased license never changes. There is no transaction for Unity to refuse.
A Merge Acquisition (M&A) is much more than just buying a name.
You have to do due diligence, get the company accounts audited, do business risk assessment and absorb their employees into your business. Absorb all their licenses - not just Unity, absorb the current customer database as well.
For that much trouble, I would just hire locally and buy UnityPro directly.
If a business was sold and they had to send hundreds of software licences to the garbage, that would be stupid. A licence is bought so you can use the product, not so you can use it until any bump in the road comes along. At least that’s what common sense should dictate.
Dictate being the keyword in your post. Common Sense? What is common sense to you and do you believe that it may differ for others/myself?
If we were to look within the context of Unity3D, how it is licensed, and to what regions it is licensed in, it is more feasible for the Collective Common Sense to be based on complying with the laws of the region it is licensed to. For Unity to force compliance with laws that have no power in the region the software is licensed to is Dead Common Sense, wrong and should not be tolerated.
This is where the stink comes from. The blatant disregard to local region laws by absolutely portraying that what is Illegal in the US or against the agreement based on US law should automatically apply to every region on Earth where unity is Licensed by an individual.
