what to do when selling or giving a sonos product to someone else
Answered

I have sold my Sonos system. Not because I do not love it; but because I do. But where I moved to I have no land lines for internet. Is there anything I need to do with my account. Since my devices are registered on that account, I am worried the new owner will have issues setting up the system.
