You don't. It is not allowed anymore.

Wrong. It has been allowed in the past (until last year somewhere). Licenses were transferred to your own account.It has never been allowed, so nothing has changed.
The only thing which was never allowed was selling internal lifetime licenses.
I was talking about reselling DirectAdmin when I posted the reply. @fahim5001 is both talking about "verify a reseller" and then "selling life time license", wich to me meant illegal reselling, and reselling has never been allowed. When you sell a used life time license (wich was allowed previous, then you are not a reseller, you are simply selling your used licence).

What do you find complicated?
I didn't want to start a discussion with Ditto, but imho he's partly still looking at it the wrong way. Reseller+selling lifetime license wasn't directly illegal, it depends on the situation.
The way of speaking can cause complications. People also talk about reselling when datacenters or vps/dedi hosters "sell" internal licenses to their custumers, which can only be "sold" together with a vps or dedi server.
Reselling internal licenses was allowed before too. Ditto made it a bit complicated. We have a lifetime internal license. However, we can only use that at a certain datacenter. Since we don't have a server there anymore, that license can't be used until we do again. The datacenter is called the reseller.
So yes, also in the past a reseller could sell legally lifetime licenses.
There were also people (hosters/resellers) who were buying and reselling the "normal" lifetime licenses, he wants to call it used licenses, but that doesn't matter, used or not used, they are/were lifetime licenses. And there were company's trading them which was also legal at that time. However, this is not a "official reseller" as some other panels have/had. They never existed as far as I know.
I don't know how it works with selling lifetime internal licenses, only to be used in the datacentrum you bought them. I don't know if they still exist or nowadays only renting of internal licenses from datacenters are possible.
