I wonder what people would say if Microsoft was putting an expiring license key inside W2k or Office in our professional PC's Although everybody knows forbidden usage happens , keys are normaly used only in private PC's . If it was not so , we would not be able to handle deploiement of thousands of work stations . Software vendors recognise that and do not stop us from installing or running products whether we have 1000 or 25000 PC's .They trust us in our yearly negotiation. >> I've seen a PC with seven dongles and during an upgrade the 3rd one was dropped and lots of stuff quit working. The shame of it all! There's a license key for all the new M$ stuff and must be reinstalled(most of the time) during upgrades and replacements. Software piracy is a huge industry. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
