Is this through Steam? Have you talked to Steam?

As for removing a license that was valid when it was initiated on a computer that you no longer have access to, I think that would likely be illegal for a third party to perform.

That would be like buying a painting from an art gallery, putting the painting in your house, selling the house with the painting in it, then asking the art gallery to go to the house and take back or destroy the painting. Imo, the art gallery is a third party and has no right to remove property from one person based only on the request of another person.

And why would a company even do that? They've been paid and it was up to you to do the proper things to safeguard your rights. If you wanted to transfer the license, you should have done it when you had the chance (assuming you even can transfer the particular license you have.) What incentive or obligation does the company have to invade or modify a third party's property, (which by the way is almost certainly illegal in many if not all states due to privacy laws?)
