Perhaps this is a dumbq question, but has ADAPSO considered that under
upcoming and existing multi-tasking and environments for the PC,
several programs may be active (or at least loaded) at once? Are keys
"stackable" or would this mean lots of repeated key inserts or is the
key to be checked only at initial load?  In the latter case, if the OS swaps
out to disk, I think It is conceivable for someone to be able to force
swaps of all keyed software, shut down and restart from the saved
situation without needing the keys on that machine subsequently.

Am I uninformed as to the details or missing something?
