Ronni, Actually, in reply to my own question, I will partition my
little backup drive, put TechTool Pro 5 on one partition, and a back
up of my HD on the other. There's plenty of room. regards, Susan.

Hi Susan,
Micromat recommend that you install the program on a bootable
external drive if possible.
When you run the program from the bootable DVD, virtual memory
cannot be used.
When the disk directory is replaced, all of it, plus part of Mac OS
X and TechTool Pro, must be able to be held in RAM.
Unless you have a lot of RAM, this is not likely to be possible.
Also, after you install TechTool Pro 5.x, open the TechTool
Protection system preferences pane and configure the features found
there.
I purchased TTP 5 when it was first released and found it would not
work on my TechTool Protégé (which I had TTP4 installed on, plus
Disk Warrior and other Diagnostic Tools).
Micromat have informed me that there will have to be a new release
of the Protégé Manager to support TechTool Pro 5.0.x.
I'm still waiting for them to update Protégé Manager, they do not
know when the new version of Protégé Manager will be available.
So my little TechTool Protégé sits on my desk waiting ;-(
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Michael, the download version from the email they sent me
appears to be the latest version 5.0.4. Is that the version you
have used? cheers, Susan.

Hi Susan,
I don't know whether I downloaded the bundle the most efficient
way or not
(I subscribed and then down loaded each program individually by
clicking on
the title in the email I received after subscribing) or whether
I ran
TechTool correctly (the 700 odd mb took for ever to download on
an ADSL2+
subscription) and for some reason it took me a couple of goes to
burn a
bootable disc so I could optimise the MacBook Pro's hard drive
before
creating an eDrive on it, but in the end I got there.
Note that the version of Techtool that gets downloaded as part
of the
subscription is not the most recent version and that there is an
update
available.
Regards,
Michael Hawkins.
