Switching to JeppView

I just switched and I don't even have the package yet. Supposed to arrive
today. My comment was based on my direct question and the answer from the
person who took my order. A paraphrased quote of her answer: "You can
install it on four computer. Wait let me check. That may be two ground-based
and two-airborne computers. ... No. Four computers, wherever you want."

I don't know why they put such restrictions. I can understand a clause that
says something like, "Don't sell charts and don't let anyone else use this
software." But who cares how many places I have it installed as long as I am
the sole user. I'm getting better value. They aren't loosing any money.

There has been a whole lot of JeppView sharing going on. Joe gives his two-week
old disk to Jim, and so on.

No doubt there has been a lot of sharing. What does that have to do with
restricting the number of PCs that I install their software on for my
personal use. I have 4 PCs in my house plus my laptop at work. I carry paper
charts around with me now when I am planning a flight. I just lost that
ability (legally) because some lawyer thinks that the appearance of
strictness will temper illegal acts at the expense of legitmate users.

Now that I have the new version in my hands, it allows me to install it on a
single ground-based computer but then says that I can install it on another
one. Geez, can't they count to two? I don't want to make money by selling
their charts. I don't want to cheat them by giving away charts. I just don't
want to have to uninstall it and re-install it every time I move from the
den to my office or the basement or the playroom or the bedroom.

The license section is many paragraphs long. It can be summarize in just a
few words, "Printed charts and software to be used only by licensee for
personal use."

By the way, that is completely different answer than the order taker gave
me. Nowhere does it say anything about 4 copies.
