Is it technically legal to own and use a boot program?

If you are referring to a program that keeps you online, without your ISP kicking you off, then the answer is this:\n\nYou aren't breaking any laws by using it (that I know of), but you may be violating your service contract with your ISP.  Penalties for those violations vary from contract to contract, but usually result in them denying you access.   Read your service contract from your ISP carefully. If it's in the terms of service that you can't use one, then you can't, because by paying for their service, you are agreeing to their terms of service. Failure to abide by those terms is considered breach of contract, even if an anti boot programm is legal.

A couple of things to keep in mind:\n\n1. getting a bootleg product key is illegal.\n2. Even if you want to use an illegal key you would be able to activate the software, which will make the software useless.\n\nSuggest you go out and buy MS Office. You can get the student/teacher edition (which is essentially the same as the standard edition) for less than $100.00.

If it's possible it's probably not legal - I'd guess that your user licence only allows the software to be installed on 1 computer.\nNeed more details to say if it's possible. E.g. what software, are the computers connected to a network etc

No it is not possible. The reason you need to be an administrator (especially in NT) because the software you are installing needs to make changes to the NT Registry (which needs to have "admin rights"). Assuming it's a DOS program, the software needs administrator rights to be able to communicate with the hardware directly, which may or may not be stable anyway, but that's another answer to another question.

Using a combo of programs (i.e. anydvd & DVD Clone or DVD shrink & nero) it is easy to make a "backup of your own property and/or DVDs” it is illegal to reproduce copyright material w/o permission\n\np.s. if your use anydvd it just runs in the background

Yes, its illegal. Sometimes a company puts out a piece of software they make it free for personal use and businesses must pay a licensing fee. Its worth it for you to simply purchase the software and support the business that distributes it out so they can continue to put out more great software.

legally you can use any program to download. What illegal is the contant that you download. example if you download music/movies that you do not own right to-- that is illegal.

You can use a software called Resource hacker to repalce boot image file which is in "ntoskrnl.exe" file. This tool is free and download it.\n\nManually it is the onlyway instead of using stylexp or other softwares.\n\nRemember you should take care in image settings like bit information/resolution etc..
