[P1] OT: Software Licensing

[Pat D. Stephens]

Could you simply connect your two computers and move the whole program 
from the one it is installed on to the other one?  I know that's not 
the answer to your concern, but it might provide a way around a silly 
policy like that.  Like you, I have two and probably most of us do and 
it burns me that they are taking this sort of attitude about it.
