Can I sell a locked MacBook in Florida?
It depends on the lock. Carrier-locked devices are bought. Activation Lock (iCloud) and MDM locks must be cleared first, because a MacBook still tied to an account or an organization cannot be reset for its next owner. We never unlock devices for anyone except the owner.
