Software has always been sold as a license for you to use. Usually the license is for 1 user 1 PC. Borland's software license was more like a book in that you could install the software on your laptop and as long the software was not 'read' at the same time (can't read the same book at the same time) there was no problem. MSFT has been fighting this software piracy by trying to lock the OS to a PC/CPU but like the copy protection of Lotus 1-2-3 there was/is a lot of fall out. I have always wanted to package up my old software and send it back since I do not use it anymore then it is technically not mine to keep. David L.
