Thank you very much for that. I am going to save it to disk. I noticed
the language about the licensee being able to install the software on
more then one machine. It doesn't really specify a maximum number, only
qualification being that only one machine can be used at a time. Next
time I speak with my attorney I might show them that exerpt and ask for
their opinion but that language is pretty simple.

here's an excerpt from the license agreement:
COPYING THE PROGRAM
The Licensee may not copy, transfer, decompile, disassemble, or
reverse engineer the program or create a derivative work, or allow
the program to be copied or transferred, in part or in whole, except
as specifically indicated within this agreement. In the event the
Licensee copies, transfers, decompiles, disassembles, or reverse
engineers the program or creates a derivative work for another person
in any form, except as is specifically authorized, then the
Licensee's license to use the program shall be automatically
terminated. The Licensee may install and use the program on more than
one machine, but only one machine may be used at a time.
In the case of a Licensee who has purchased a Site, District, or
Enterprise License, the Licensee may install the program on the
specified number of machines as defined in the Site, District, or
Enterprise License Agreement. The Licensee may install a Site,
District, or Enterprise License on a Local Area Network (LAN) server,
however, the concurrent number of users of the software cannot exceed
the number of machines as defined in the Site, District or Enterprise
License Agreement. This product is not intended, nor warranted to be
installed or supported on a Wide Area Network (WAN) except to allow
the use of a WAN for Enterprise-wide license authorization. The
Licensee may copy the program for backup purposes to preserve the
program. These copies and the original program may be stored in the
possession of another person, so long as the storage does not result
in the program being used in violation of the terms set forth above
in this section.
