What you have in an appropriate case is a breach of a contractual warranty between buyer and seller. Most breaches of contract or of a licence do not invalidate the contract or licence, but give the other party a right to recover damages for the breach. At least in most cases under current arrangements my view is that the buyer does receive a valid licence.
