If it is ethical to use the program for free now, would it have been etical to use it when Wholly Genes was still in business? No sales was the reason why it went out of business. So, tell me the difference. Just because General Motors closed the Oldsmobile line, would it be ethical to go to a former dealer and just drive away a new car? As for using it on a second computer, your license was for use on up to three computers -- as long as the program was being used on only one computer at a time. I have two desktop and a laptop and have two licenses. The reason for the second license is that my wife sometimes uses TMG at the same time as I. If she never used the program, then only one license would be needed. She does not have a laptop and uses mine when we are on trips, so we both need only one license "carried over" from the desktops.
