For TB! on your laptop and your PC to be covered by the same licence as long as you don't use both copies at the same time, that was definitely true for v4. It is possible they changed the wording of the licence for version 5. For up-to-date wording, check the licence.txt (or similar name) file you will find in your The Bat! program folder or possibly your The Bat! mail folder - or it may be on the RITlabs website. Either way, you can do it for a 30-day trial at least. -- Best regards MFPA mailto:expires2...@ymail.com A bird in the hand makes it awfully hard to blow your nose Using The Bat! v4.0.38 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 ________________________________________________ Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
