If Synopsys is willing to transfer the licenses, it would be worth many
times your $90k. If Synopsys will not transfer the licenses, or will do
so for a steep fee (which I suspect is the case), then the unit is worth
a tiny fraction of the $90k...
Just my 2 cents (mostly for the benefit of EDA newbies reading this).

Please do not do this.
It is a breach of the terms and conditions of our licensing to sell or
transfer the licenses in this way. You should contact Synopsys GmbH in
Munich for further information.
