- moved from one computer location to another, so long as there is no
- possibility of it being used at one location while it's being used at
- another. Just as a book is not read by two different persons at the
- same time.

- Commercial users of ATTRB must register and pay for their copies of
- ATTRB within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn.
