Re: Question on cloning PC

The company says that installing it on your home machine will violate the EULA. Now you are asking us how to violate that license agreement. That is no joke.

I doubt that they said cloning the drive was OK for the purpose of violating the EULA.. They either said "Can't stop you if you do" or they know that cloning the drive would be a waste of time....

As others have said, why not just use the laptop at home? Is it because you can't or you want to use the program for non-business tasks?

I have laptop at work with a program I need at home. I foolishly didn't save the *.exe setup program and the company that installed it said that it's a single user license they wouldn't install it on another machine - however if I wanted to clone the drive that was fine by them! What a joke!

I was thinking of using Norton Ghost but if I do, can I just cherrypick the program I want to restore to another hard drive - or do I have to restore the entire hard drive? If so, must it be a similar computer and hard drive, since the system files do have some things in common with the BIOS setup - correct?
