I would not do that, myself, as you then end up having to re-download it should you need to re-install Finale later. I maintain a folder for software updates and keep all the patches and updaters in there. I happen to now have a 1TB external firewire hard drive where I store all this stuff, so I don't need to burn it to CD/DVD any longer. I'd recommend that anybody who has a spare $100 acquire a 1TB external drive. They are just too cheap not to use any more! Hopefully by the time those fill up, we'll be able to buy 20TB hard drives for roughly the same price. ;) -- David W.
