Someone from APH can jump in, but I honestly don't believe that the
Transfer software is the issue here. Because, if you don't own a
Bookport, the software is pretty much useless to you. Why would APH
care if you installed it on a machine and used it while at guide
Dog school? It is not like a screen reader that has very specific
licensing issues. Not that APH doesn't have a licensing policy, but the
software comes with the Bookport, and that is all that it is intended to
do, allow you to transfer files to a Bookport.

Paula,
This is Michael, jumping in again:
I will be in the same situation probably around a year from now when I
have
to retire Warren, so I am curious about making the rented laptop
accessible
for the BP. Would you have your screen reader on a memory "stick" and
work
with it that way as I have heard is sometimes done or would you actually
have to download and then configure the Laptop?
I am thinking that if I was in your position now, I would load my BP up
with
a whole mess of new stuff for reading during the down times rather than
even
messing with renting a laptop, taking the software, etc. While there is
lots of down time, I think you are going to find the new school
(whichever
it is) demanding enough that you won't want to focus on bringing in new
material while you are there--obviously, this is your call. First,
though,
I would find out if APH would allow me to do this. If they don't, this
whole discussion goes away.
Here's hoping that you get the breed of dog you prefer and that he/she
does
not have a dorky name.
