Main question is - are your systems similar enough that you can boot your system with his OS, without it saying it has located new hardware and wants to install drivers, or dropping drivers etc because your system has less/different hardware than his If not - then the question is academic unless you, and your friend are happy to have the OS for his system changed to run in your system: You do have the OS CD to get those drivers from!
Then there is the legality of running the OS on a different system - probably illegal Then ... we get to the re-licensing of NIS for the new system - not really much good without a signature and software update And.. It's probably cheaper to buy a new version of NAV than to get a years update licence from Symantec Why not just pass over the CD and let your friend consider the legality, and appropriateness of installing the software on his system Surely that's easier than moving the hard drive and risking 'shock' damage JimB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marc Sims" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2006 6:52 PM Subject: Software: Installing Norton IS 2005 Have a simple question. A friend of mine wants me to install my old copy of NIS 2005 with NAV 2005 on his computer but just wants to drop off his HD at my house instead of his PC to install it on, so the question is with NIS 2005 will I have to install it at his house in order to activate the firewall?
