Isn't this just plain illegal? Since I assume you only once bought Finale full, and then bought upgrades, you still only have one serial number. Although you are obviously permitted to run as many different versions of Finale as you own, I doubt very much that you can give away an early version of Finale without a separate serial number.

Sharing it with another Finale user who ALSO has a legally purchased license wouldn't be illegal. That person has paid for and is legitimately allowed to use Finale, too.

Besides, the offer was for someone who was interested in having the earlier version for historical interest. I doubt anybody on this list is actually interested in beginning to work with such an earlier version.

But the legality of one licensed owner sharing the original disks from an earlier version with another licensed owner shouldn't be an issue.

Now if Andrew were to give them to someone who isn't already a user, THAT would be illegal, but it's also something I'm sure Andrew wouldn't even consider doing.
