Hi,

probably the answer is yes, but just wanna be sure.

If one of our clients doesnt want SCADA anymore, we can take that license and give it to a new client?

You should reach out to your sales representative in IA for that question or any distributor in your area.

Hi,  
From an accountability pov, no. The license is the customer property generaly, depending on the contract with the maker / OEM.  
But... as @mpoulsen921 said, ask IA/IA dist.

Hmm, maybe I havent explained it precisely...

Lets say, we (my company) buy the license and we make scada for a client. That client says after 3 months, that they dont want scada anymore. Sooo, can we take that license, because we bought it?

And lets say, after next 3 months a new client appears and we use that license?

If they didn't pay you, then I guess that license is yours. This is more a legal question than a technical question. You should ask IA for advice. Or a lawyer familiar with contract law in your locale.
