Hi Tom,
Please see my previous message which explains how to get your license
file without worrying about floppy drives and text editors.

- DBT 10.4 and 10.4 were issued on a CD-ROM with a license floppy disk. The

- that you are installing DBT on. There are several solutions:
- 1) A USB floppy drive is quite inexpensive. They are a real bargain on
- e-bay. I have bought one for my home computer from e-bay.
- 2) Go to a computer with a floppy drive and print out a copy of the
- textfile. Use a text editor and create a file with identical contents on
- c:\duxbury on the new computer.
- 3) Copy the file onto other media, such as an e-mail attachment; USB memory
- stick, or burn a cd-rom yourself with the tiny CD-ROM. For extra credit,
- think of yet another way of doing it.
- Install the main 10.3 CD-ROM into c;\duxbury. You will not be prompted for
- a license floppy when the install program finds the file already there.
- This is not an issue with DBT 10.5. Version 10.5 comes on a floppy with a
- card with your serial number and a unique password.
- Yes, if you find no other way that meets your needs of getting this file
- onto your laptop, then you could purchase an upgrade to version 10.5
- However, consider the USB floppy alternative again. Generally, you pay $30
- between cost of the item and shipping (for s ome reason, there are many
- people selling these directly from the orient to the US, so the shipping is
- a considerable proportion of the final expense). I just did a search, there
- are 456 auctions underway right now on E-Bay. Here is the current link:
- http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?cgiurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2F&fkr=1&from=R8&satitle=usb+floppy&category0=
- Good luck.
