The first complies with the spirit, if not the letter, of the EULA. The second is an obvious violation. No difference??? Unbelievable. And just how many other *family members* are going to use Frame, for God's sake? Mif2Go has a very effective system of license control; it's called the "Honor System". It works. It's the only method we could find that does not interfere with usage by our licensed customers. We trust you. Impractical, you say? Wake up! Pirates can break *any* system you use in less than an hour. And broken copies of Adobe apps are available all over the Web; we must get fifty spams a day offering them. So the only folks your anti-piracy measures affect are your *honest* users. You might think that with such an arrangement, people would never buy a second license in the same company. Why would they, if all they had to do was copy from their colleague? Guess what; it doesn't happen. We have more license purchases for *additional* copies than for singles. If you treat people as honest, they *are*. If you treat them like criminals, well... you say more about yourself than about them. </rant> -- Jeremy H.
