If you remember the "glory days" pre ubiquitous constant internet connections, you had to enter a big long code when installing any software. I think the principle is that the license key is some sort of decryption key that unlocks a core part of the software which would otherwise prevent it running.

I wonder how many obstacles there are to running the CD ROM that OP got? (Apart from my obvious one of not having a cd drive!)

Yeah I figured there weren't enough keys but couldn't tell if there was a workaround using layers or something.

How much of a learning curve is there with it? Is it actually feasible to type with?
