The Invisible Assets

Everyone knows the government auctions off old trucks and desks. Less known is that they also auction off bulk, perpetual software licenses (like Microsoft Server or older CAD suites) when agencies shut down. These digital assets sell for pennies if you can find them.

Finding the Keys

These listings are incredibly obscure, often buried in general "IT Equipment" lots.

• Transferability: Monitor the descriptions to ensure the licenses are legally transferable, not tied to a specific federal domain.
• Keyword Hunting: Search for specific high-value software suites like "AutoCAD" or "VMware."
