Quote - > Quote - For windows 7 users, there is an alternative to using a usb flash drive for licensing.

Windows 7 supports the creating and mounting of virtual hard disks(vhd). Create one and use it to generate the license. The vhd is just a file so you can backup and restore it easily.

 

Wow! That kinda circumvents the whole copy protection scheme completely doesn't it?

 

In any direct manner, no.  Sometimes, you're just not going to have a USB stick available to you, or all of your ports are full with things you need (keyboard, mouse, etc.).  Using a VHD with Windows 7 is no different than using a USB stick...for all intents and purposes, that's what a USB stick is; a small hard drive.

HOWEVER, this is not to say that it does not violate their license.  I haven't read their license and whether or not it requires that the key be put on a USB stick/dongle or not, so you'll want to contact someone at Messiah to clarify for you, or thoroughly read your license when you receive it.
