Army Builder on laptop

I purchased the CD version (quite an expensive option as I had to
ship it from the states) because I wanted to use it on my desktop and
laptop, however my laptop does not have a CD drive. To install it, I
copy the files via ethernet link and install it from the hard disk.
But it requires the CD to run in full mode. Is there anything I can
do, as I wanted it to be portable?

Aside from getting a CD drive for your laptop, probably not :(

Hi,

I'm sending this to you instead to the group so they dont get upset :D

Try http://www.zdnet.com/downloads/stories/info/0,,0012I0,.html a
Virtual CD-ROM program, I havent tried it on Army Builder, but it works
great on other programs I have tried it on.

Regards

Peter Andersson

The CD is used as a "key disc", just like most computer games. This is done
for a number of reasons that I'd be happy to explain if anyone wants to
hear them. The fact that the CD operates as a "key disc" is outlined in
numerous places on the web-site, especially in the ordering section. It
seems this detail wasn't apparent to you. If you have suggestions of how I
can make this even clearer on the web-site, I'd love to hear them.

Given the current situation, though, you have two options I can immediately
think of.....

1. Purchase a separate registration license for the laptop. A number of
users have opted for this approach. If you contact me directly, I'll fill
you in on the details. Basically, you can get a full registration license
for US$15 if you purchased the CD version of the product from us. This
would get your laptop running smoothly.

2. Obtain software that lets you run CDs on a computer without having the
CD present. There are a number of such packages available that do this. I
don't know their names, since I don't use them, but I'm sure you can chase
them down. Normally, I wouldn't promote this type of activity, but you DID
already purchase the CD, and you'll hear about this option in other forums
regularly, so I figure I might as well point it out myself. :-)

I would guess that option #1 would be less expensive in the short term, but
option #2 might be useful for other products in the future.

Thanks, Rob

Nope. Info on these types of tools is all over the place, and I even
mentioned them in my post. There's no point in hiding something that is
"everywhere". All this does is teach me that I need to read ALL the posts
on a thread before making my own posts. :-)

Thanks, Rob
