Not a lawyer here, but it seems to me that if Karen can get hold of the license information for the copy she has, she would be considered to inherit. That is, the original owner is no longer using the program so I don't think there would be anything illegal, or more important, unethical, about Karen using the original owner's license. Again, I'm not a lawyer but that is how I would interpret the situation. Ownership is transferred.
