Sorry Tom,

The license says the program can only be run on machines I own.  If you
are really considering buying a copy, the do offer a 15-day money-back
warranty if you don't like it.  It shouldn't take you that long to do
your taxes using this program, if you have all the data you need.

The legal language in the license agreement may be contradicting their
advertised encouragement to let other folks do their taxes on a
registered copy of the software.  Since I am not a lawyer, I'm not
sure.  I'll just play it safe.  I have friends use it to do their
taxes, but they do them here on my equipment.
