It seems that the big gripe is "what if I want to take this over to a buddies house and play"

Maybe you have not experienced this before but I have. You go to that buddies house, and after he sees just how cool the program is and all what it can do, he hits you with, "Wow, that's great could i have a copy on my hard drive so I can keep working on this project?" You have to try to explain how it is not cool to give away licensed software. After the uncomfortable silence, he responds who's going to know!

We all know to use it on that buddies computer you need to do a small install to run from the hard drive., so it is hard to explain why you would go that far and not help a real good bud out here, cause money is tight and he really wants to do this music project with you.

You are safe, cause it requires an activation key code to install on another computer.
