How Does Solitaire Licensing Work
Solitaire games employ a Licensing system developed by Moo Town Games called GameTrack. GameTrack prevents the unauthorized distribution and copying of Moo Town Games products. It also provides a method of accounting for your games, so if your games are lost due to as Second Life Transaction Server Error. We would be happy to replace them.
For non-commission pack owners we also use the licensing system to track which addons you have purchased. This allows us to automatically enable these games in your machines as soon as you purchase the addon.
Can I Sell My Games That Have GameTrack Licensing ?
YES! You can when you give your games to someone else your license for that game will go with it. You can also mark a game as "For Sale" and have someone else buy it by right-clicking it and selecting "BUY"
Games that are no-trans (Copy and Non-Commission Solitaire Games) cannot be sold becuase you can't give them away.

Understanding Licensing Errors
There are a number of GameTrack Licensing Errors your may encounter when using Solitaire. Here are a few of the common ones and what they mean.
"Unable To Issue License, You do not have any available licenses for this game."
This will happen if you are attempting to use a game that the server sees as a valid game but that you are not licensed to own.
"Unable To Transfer Ownership Of This Game, The prior owner did not have a valid license."
If you see this you have most likely just been the victim of fraud. This will only happen if you buy a game used from another person who did not legally own the game in the first place. You should contact them as soon as possible to determine if they will give you a refund. If not, you should contact Linden Lab support and report the incident.
"Unable To Issue License, Invalid ID"
This is extremely unusual. If you get this error, either something has gone horribly wrong, or you are attempting to hack the system. Assuming that something has gone wrong, contact the person you bought the game from. Once this happens the game will never work again and must be replaced.
"Duplicate License Key. Unable To Verify License."
This is caused by two games being in world using the same license key. This can also be caused by moving a game across sim borders. If you get this error and believe its a mistake, wait 5 min then reset the game by going to the Second Life Tools Menu and Choosing "Reset Scripts In Selection".
"Unknown Error - Unable To Issue/Verify License Key"
Something has gone really wrong on the server, most likely not your fault. Try again in a few min.
"Unable To Issue License, Game Disabled By Creator"
Your game(s) have been disabled. This can be done for a number of reasons such as giving replacement games for ones that have been "Lost". Games that have a serious security flaw can be disabled to protect the owners.
