But there's another aspect. I have a PCB layout programme that I
bought honestly. I have the original disk, original book and original
slip of paper with the serial number on it. This programme came with a
dongle that plugs into the parallel port and is supposed to be invisible
to the printer that's also plugged into the port.
This has to be the most unreliable thing that I have ever come
across. Worse still, the 'support' (!) from the company who made the
software is diabolical.
I'd dearly love to find someone who could tell me how to bypass this
wretched dongle, just so that I can be sure of running the programme
reliably when I want to. I haven't the slightest intention of making
copies of the programme (who'd want it, anyway?). But I use it for my work
and, being self-employed, I need to be able to get access to my files
as and when necessary in order to survive and put food on the table for
my family. The dongle just doesn't see it that way...
So you see, we're not ALL criminally intent!
Ron.
