The reason HJ won't issue you a backup disk with your purchase is their
fear that you'll use the product on 10 instead of 5 computers...absurd,
of course, but try telling them that. You also make a great point about
down time. That's the very reason Lotus Development gave up a similar
protection system back in the 80's. In their system you had one install
of, say, Lotus 1-2-3. If anything went wrong during the install, you
were down until they could get a new install diskette to you. Clearly,
that was something that corporate users (especially) would not put up
with, so Lotus had to abandon it to survive. I suspect enough user
pressure in the right directions could bring about the same results with
HJ.
