There is not a legal way to run it unless you acquired a perpetual license to run it on that system before DEC/Compaq/HP stopped selling such licenses. Whether it is *moral* or *ethical* to run it is independent of whether it is *legal* to run it, and a poor analogy such as one likening running it to stealing a car will not help much in making up your own mind about such things. — Chris
