No longer can you just take a copy from a friend, set it up to learn on it. Also, if you make a certain number of changes to your system, then you will have to reregister your system with them. In any case, one copy of the software can be active. Now Linux, on the other hand, has no such restrictions. Spread the love. Penguin Power! -- Edward M.
