| Re: Old copy of Money v.5 The legal and ethical answer is almost certainly no. The practical answer is that probably nobody cares if you install M97.

| Old copy of Money v.5 Hmm, more an ethical question. I found someone's backup copy of Ms Money v.5. I do not own the original. I have an old computer. According to the lifecycle page, this will work on my system but is not sold anymore, or supported anymore. Am I allowed to install it? |
