I believe you should also provide them with a letter that states that 
you are transferring your license to them.  I've not dealt with this 
in about 10 years.  At that time I bought a couple pieces of software 
from a local Mac/PC store, only to find out that they were already 
registered, and that they were registered to the store.  Of course 
they didn't tell me this, the software publisher did.  IIRC, Quark 
wanted the signed statement that the license had been transferred.
