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.

Perhaps I am counting fly legs here, but strictly speaking I do not believe this is true. The diskettes, as far as I remember, came with the serial number printed on them. Besides, if you bought Finale 97 I do not believe you are legally allowed to use Finale 2.63, although I doubt that anyone at MM would give a navel fluff about it.

There are, however, some more implications about giving away diskettes and manuals in such a way. I don't know what the current situation is in this respect, but I believe Sibelius once offered a cross-grade to their software for a very much reduced price, where you had to send in the title page of your original Finale manual, or something along those lines. Get my point?

Not that I really care about what Andrew does with his old manuals, I still have a 3.2 Finale manual on my shelve collecting dust, and was very close to throwing it away several times during my spring cleaning.
