Jesus Christ, give it a fucking rest or take it somewhere else.
If I had the original install disks, i'd attempt to answer the fucking
question, but i don't, so i decided to whine instead. Yes, using it on
two machines at once is illegal, and pirating software costs the
industry untold billions a year, is immoral, pornographic, and probably
communist and/or antiamerican. Every time a question like this comes up,
a veritable deluge of legal mental masturbation results and the "F" keys
on keyboards across the globe are subjected to another test of their
durability. How about adding a "Legal bullshit follows" to your subject
line so i can add it to my kill file.

Thank you for listening.
