Question

I enhanced a software related to point of sale. The owner sells it in UAE and I live in Pakistan. Can I sell the software in Pakistan without the owner's permission?

Answer

Once you purchase it, it becomes yours. You may then do whatever you wish to do with it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
