That is all we want to do. Install it. The developer cannot provide installation media. I licensed an install. Actually, several dozen installs. I would like to do that. I see no copyright infringement if I use a legitimate original copy of a setup media to install a licensed copy of the software. Now, if the license was attached to that particular disk, perhaps you would have a point, but it is not. It is separate from the install media.

"software piracy" has no legal definition. What you suggest would still be considered copyright infringement. When you buy a copy of software, you have the right to that one copy -- that one disc. You do not have right to make additional copies unless license is granted. The license typically grants you permission to install it, and maybe make a backup. In the world of traditional payware, you're practically never granted permission to distribute additional copies, even to someone else who had a separate license. I doubt anyone would sue you over it, of course. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
