- I would recommend buying Keyserver Lite. Last I heard, the cost was about
- $300, and should solve most of your problems. You can write to
- sassafras@dartmouth.edu (or denis.devlin@dartmouth.edu) for more info.
- For most people, the cost of KeyServer is more than recovered by the
- cost of not needing to buy as many licenses of at least some software
- (you only need licenses for the maximum number of copies that you want in
- use at one time, instead of one license for every machine).

- Copy protectin offered by Appleshare is fairly easy to overcome, especially
- if you're trying to install the programs on the individual hard disks.
