I own BIAB 2009... the one that came with it on the portable hard disk.

Two Machines:
- Win7 64 bit desktop (for creating BIAB arrangements)
- Win8.1 laptop (for playing BIAB arrangements on gigs)

Four questions:

1 - Can I just run it off the portable hard disk with out installing it per the instruction sheet?

2 - Can I run it if I actually install it onto the hard disk per the instruction sheet?

3 - Read another (recent) post where someone was having an issue with Win7 and someone suggested not installing BIAB in the c:\program files\ folder. What about the c:\program files (x86)folder?

4 - Is it OK to install the software on both machines?

thanks for any help.
