thanks, that's a good suggestion. I'm not sure I am up to the
hassle of it though. :)
Does RSI actually use a hardrive as a key, hmmmm, how about a firewire
external drive (or even a CD, like games use for copy protection)?
I think I'll call up rsi and explore that.
I might just end up moving the license to the laptop, but I hate that
I will have a 1.4 ghz,512M Ram,320Gb hardrive, desktop just sitting there doing
nothing all day. It would be nice if I could use the $2000 software package
I bought in a way that did not cause me great inconvenience. argh.
Cheers,
bob
