Perhaps this is a stupid 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? Does this
meen lots of repeated key inserts or is the key 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?
