I think some software license agreements actually don't allow loaning or renting of the licenses. You can work on any computer if you are the original licensee (for example, as a freelancer you could take your iLok to a studio and go to town) but you couldn't loan it to the studio or allow a freelancer to use your licenses in your own studio.

Waves, along with other companies, do allow license transfers, but there are often exorbitant fees involved to do so. Some companies (BIAS comes to mind) do not allow license transfer at all, ever. You can of course physically sell your discs/dongle etc but the second user would be entitled to virtually no support or upgrades.
