    Hello

    I wanted to place the InterActive DVD viewer program into a shared file so we could open it on our desktop. However, when I tried to open it on the desktop, it wouldn't allow me because I needed the disk to open it. Does it say that just so I won't "steal" it without paying for another program?

    Right, you need a license to install the program on your desktop. You can't just share programs without installing them.

    Oh well. Can I install it onto the desktop for free from a website or something?

    Thanks for your response.

    They might have a demo, but I don't think that's a free program.
