Could be done on Windows, I don't know about Macs.
Uh, no. Definitely not with Fin2004+, and the platform doesn't make
any difference -- first off, the copy protection will prevent it
(although I assume you'll get a fresh 30-day grace period each time).
But no matter what, you will always need to install the fonts, etc,
onto the machine's boot drive -- and as Dennis notes, On Windows,
there's also all the registry stuff.
If you had a bootable FirewWire or USB hard drive (with a copy of the
OS on it, as well as Finale), if you booted from that drive, that
might at least get around the installation issues. But you would
still be prompted to register every time you ran Finale on a new
machine.
