I just want to point out Jami, that Protel has told me more than once that it is FINE with them to install Protel on more than one machine as long as only one copy is in use at a time. This includes taking a company copy home to install on your home computer and use at night, as long as the licence is only in use at one place at a time. I don't believe that their policy on this has changed. I can't imagine how this could be unethical. Another company, AWR's Microwave Office also supports this. In fact, since their software is locked to the MAC address of your NIC, they will actually issue you a free second "home licence" as they call it for your non-concurrent use on your home computer at night and weekends. -Frank Frank Gilley Dell-Star Technologies (918) 838-1973 Phone (918) 838-8814 Fax [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.dellstar.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
