Google Gears looks interesting. Thanks for the link.

A better scenario would be to install AI on the thumb drive. This would require a different licensing model where the license is not tied to the hardware.

You are correct on both counts. The big issue is the licensing. Not tying the software to the hardware makes it much easier to circumvent the licensing. And the more expensive the software, the higher the potential that this will occur. But still, it's something to think about.

However copying the database file will work right now -- not the idea I had initially envisioned when giving out free trials, but one that will work in a pinch.
