Free CD's On Magazines

Miroslav

Can I use them on more than one computer?

I'm going away for 2 days and the person has PC issues and I have a few CD's where I have used the software on them but would like to try and use it on their PC too, to try and help them.

Thanks

PS: Won't see any replies for a few hours, going to defrag.

You should be able to use them on any number of computers, I would have thought.

Yes you can.

Miroslav

As your response is so quick, I can reply now.

Thanks, I thought you may be able too as it's a free CD and not purchased the program.

I'll give it a go, but thought i'd ask for advice first

legal position - depends on the terms and conditions of the licence - just because it was 'free' with a magazine does not mean that you own the software or that you can do anything you like with it - otherwise there would be nothing to stop another magazine putting it on their free disc next month. Most commercial programs have restrictions - often to one or 2 computers. The free versions of the Delphi programming language which appears regularly even contain limitations on the programs you generate

Practical position - use it as many times as you like - the main reason firms allow their programs to be put on these disks is the free publicity for the updated version which they hope to sell you

Thanks Jim, will go ahead and try it on the other PC
