Hello,
You can buy a copy of the program in any of the local office supply store
for a cheaper price.
I bought my software at Office Depot for $19.95 several months ago.
Best wishes,
Aran

Hi Al. For $49.95, you can have a license which covers up to 3 different
computers. Beyond that, I don't know what the cost would be.
