I recently purchased a used Amiga 1000 from a friend who moved up to the 2000. In a totally separate purchase, another friend and I "went in together" on ANOTHER Amiga 1000 with software; this friend kept the computer (I had MINE already) and we "divvied up" the software. As part of this deal, I wound up with an original copy of Lattice C, v3.03. I'd like to contact Lattice about upgrading to v4.0 as I hear is possible, but I would like first to know if I'm going to have trouble vis-a-vis "official" or "real" ownership. As I understand it, purchasing the package implies or grants (I'm not legalistic, that's why I'm writing here) the purchaser a li- cense to use the package on ONE machine. Does this imply serial-number speci- ficity, or just single-station use on ANY ONE machine? The problem of course is that I have, and plan to use, the SOFTWARE, whereas someone else (my friend) has the actual machine for which this package was originally purchased. I need to know if I'm "in the clear" before calling and getting tangled up with the Powers That Be. Can anyone clarify this for me? Is there anything else I've overlooked, or can STOP WORRYING about? Thanks in advance. Chris Chiesa recent graduate, Ball State University, CS Dept. -- UUCP:!{iuvax,pur-ee,uunet}!bsu-cs!cfchiesa cfchiesa@bsu-cs.UUCP
