Re: FM7patch.exe and installed FrameMaker 7.0 disagree

Larry,

For what it is worth, the “home computer use” feature of ALL
Adobe end user license agreements (EULAs) have been modified to
provide a similar feature for “portable computer use.” I am not
a lawyer, but I believe the rational was that the home computer
feature was generally perceived to be much more restrictive than
the portable computer feature given today's usage by most
professionals (especially those who travel both inside and outside
of our organizations). If it came to a choice because we couldn't
really allow both, then the portable computer use feature was
probably the best choice for most (and admittedly not all) of
our users.

The current EULAs for Adobe software products have the following
clause with reference to use on another computer:


        2.4.  Portable Computer Use.  The primary user of the Computer
        on which the Software is installed may also make a second copy
        for his or her exclusive use on a portable Computer provided the
        Software on the portable Computer is not being used at the same
        time the Software on the primary computer is being used.
