yet another licensing question

First question:
I own one T3D license in my own personal name. A friend of mine, who is going to collaborate with me, is about to buy another in his personal name. We don't know what name or business structure we will be using when we are actually ready to market our game. Will our licenses still be valid, since they won't be under that business name? That is, will they be transferable to that entity, since we will in all likelihood be principals of it?
Second question:
My friend doesn't need TGE or TGEA but I told him to buy them and then pay the $505 for T3D, only so he can get "all forum access". Is this still the easiest way to go about this?

The licenses are not transferrable to the company.
There is no reason not to buy TGE, then upgrade to TGEA, then to T3D. In fact it is the most sensible way to do it. That way you get all three engines and access to all the forums for the same price as just buying T3D.

For Basic and Pro, The licenses are non-transferrable, and assigned to individuals. As long as your company meets the license criteria (<250k revenue I think) then your licenses are still valid (but can only be used by you and your friend. If your friend left the company and someone else started, they would need to buy their own license, you couldn't transfer the one your friend had).The licenses are not transferrable to the company.

The Studio licensing from what I gathered is a special license that allows you to manage multiple licenses for a company -- what that actually means though....
