If you get the R13 acad programfiles it will run with that dongle, from what I rem it isnt locked to a special dongle. And I think the lic is tied to the dongle so it would be legit to use/sell it too. (I am not 100% sure about that) And the combination laptops-dongle isnt too much fun... Just imagine carrying around on a dongle tree for acad, mastercam, solidworks etc etc... > Even worse that that Barry - it's just a twinkle in the eye that some day > may become a hobby project! I don't even have the software that goes with > the dongle - I know it's AutoCAD R13 ' cos its on a label on it! -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
