    You'll find the licence agreement doesn't allow you to sell an older licence to someone else. 

    But your current 16.5 license allows you to install 16.5 on two other machines, or indeed to install earlier versions instead on two other machines. (Which you might want to do, for example, if your other machines aren't capable of running 16.5.) The download page allows you to download your current version or any previous version. You can activate older versions with your licence key for the current version.

    Hello Mario Mandina. For each license you own, you have 3 activations. That means that you can activate each product in 3 different machines.
    About selling your license unfortunately a single-user license cannot be transferred or re-sold to anyone else as per the Terms and Conditions you agreed to upon activating your license key.

    Since you are updating that often I suggest that you jump in to the subscription license model so you won't have to worry about upcoming updates or bug fixes. But again everything depends on your workflow and how much value you see in subscription or perpetual.

    If you have purchased new licences and not upgrades then they exist as separate entities.

    Regarding resale I believe that this is possible under EU law.

    "Under EU law, copyright in software is 'exhausted' when a copy of the software is placed on the EEA market by or with the consent of the copyright owner. This includes the grant of certain licences as long as a number of conditions are fulfilled. The licensee may then resell this licence freely within the EEA"
