No. A copy is a copy, and licenses are licenses to make copies. That's why the licenses explicitly say you can make one backup - if they didn't, you couldn't make any backup. It's the number of copies you're granted (although there may be other terms, of course). It's copyright law - the license grants deviation from 'natural' circumstance, which is that no one but the author can make copies for any purpose. Regards, Bret
