Copy Protection
A.I. Series software is copy protected. The software is intended for use solely by the
party who has registered the software. This company’s name and address appear in a
window at the bottom of the A.I. Series software’s Main Menu. Since the package is
copy protected, only a computer with access to the activation files installed can actually
execute the software package (see the section on Activation Files, on page 2-2).
This chapter deals with how the protection system works and what to do if something
goes wrong (like a hard drive crash).
!
Performing certain operations on your hard disk will damage the activation files!
Before performing the following operations, move the activation files from your hard
disk back to the Master disk. Perform the operation, then move the activation files
back to your hard disk. (See Moving Activation Files on page 2-9 for details.)

the drive.)
