You can still transfer licenses, I believe, but it involves customer support and the person with the *original *license has to start the process. If the seller isn't willing to transfer the license, you may find yourself either unable to activate the program or find that the program gets deactivated during one of Adobe's periodic license sweeps.
Captivate 7 (which was the version included in the TCS with FM12) is at least 6 years old. I'm doubtful that anyone still has that in stock new-in-box. YMMV, but over at the Adobe Support Community we get a lot of people wanting to know why their "new in box" license bought from a 3rd-party seller or from eBay was rejected or quit working. The issue is almost always that it is a pirated/cracked version or that the seller was using an OEM license meant for volume sales to a corporation and not for resale to an individual. Adobe does check for these things and will deactivate the program.
