[QUOTE="McYukon, post: 1365516, member: 101117"] I have a very passionate dislike for software companies that pull this kind of baloney, and I avoid them like the plage. I'm all for preventing piracy, but when the protection scheme becomes a hassle and a bother to legitimate paying customers I'm waving bye bye. Anyway, I'm not sure if TimeMachine would help you since it will migrate specific user files over once you have to restore from a backup. Basically it will skip over some system stuff that really isn't important to copy over, and if the apps activation data is stored there you will loose it. Now as Chas suggested, a full HD SuperDuper clone will very likely work fine since is is an absolute exact copy of your working internal HD. And when you restore, you just boot from the SuperDuper clone and clone it back to the internal one. That being said, if they are this picky about installations there's no telling what other kind of stuff they have in place that would detect a copy. [/QUOTE]
