Re: Software Copying
The question turns on whether the license allows multiple copies of the same software to be running contemporaneously on various pieces of equipment. This question I cannot answer since I do not have a copy of the software licesing agreement that you signed or acknowledged when you first loaded the software.
Check with the vendor to see if they will allow this since the software is no longer commercially available.
Good Luck!!!
