Contest: Most Copies of a Program

Just want to throw this one out here to see if anyone has me beat...

What is the maximum number of copies you have of any one program?

A few conditions:

-it must be commercial software

-it cannot be a multi-license pack

-only an original legal copy counts (both here and with the law :-)

Mine is Print Shop... I have 6 copies (three on Classics, one on a Plus, and two that I currently don't have installed).

I also have variety within Print Shop. Two are on white disks, one on a black disk, two on blue disks with newer-style labels, and one on a pair of 400K disks. I have original boxes for two of them. I'm still hunting for a very early copy with copy protection (all of mine are the later ones after Broderbund stopped copy protecting the programs, probably so that users could place the product on a hard drive). I've also noticed that the 400K version has the word "Crayola" on the crayon graphic, the 800K disks don't...I'm assuming Binney & Smith threatened with a lawsuit and they changed it right around the time it got cheaper to ship one DS/DD disk?

If you've got me beat or have something interesting here, let me know!!!

 
I won't enter this one. Considering I write commercial software, I could make as many copies as I like. [:D] ]'>

 
I have a boxed copy of OS 9 and a copy of OS 9.2.1 that came with OS X 10.1. If it counts, I also have a boxed OS 8.5 and an iMac install CD (yes, it is from my iMac) for OS 8.6.

 
I have 20 copies of Cycling'74 still new wrapped with serials, last version before osx... probably about 20 copies of quark 4, about 10 copies of word 5 boxed...

i should probably see if there's a market for all this old softsware, as its doing me no good.

 
Mac OS 9: 4 Copies

Mac OS 8.5: 2 Copies

Various Restore CD's with flavors of 8.x and 7.x.

Mac OS X: 3 Copies (X.4, X.5, Public Beta)

Office 2003 Pro: 6 Copies. I get them free from school. Nice hologram CD's.

XP Pro SP2: 6 Copies. Same as above

Server 2003: 4 Copies. Same as above

Mac OS X Server 10.4: 1 Copy. Paid for myself

Remote Desktop 3 Admin: 1 Copy. Unlimited license. Paid for myself.

 
Quark 4 and Word 5 you say... ?

For me, I might've had two copies of the original FileMakerPro, one bare disks and one a full set. I think I also had two copies of MacDrawPro, same situation.

 
How could I forget the following:

BBedit : 1 Copy

Filemaker: 8 copies. Ranging from Filemaker 7 to 9 and from Server to Advanced to Pro.

Virtual Pool (Mac & PC)

Virtual Pool 2

Virtual Pool 3

Virtual Pool Mobile (Palm & Pocket PC)

That's the only program I can think of besides Mac OS

 
Office 2003 Pro: 6 Copies. I get them free from school. Nice hologram CD's.

I love those CDs! My grandpa has Office 2003 and it's probably the most awesome disc I've ever seen.

If I had six of those I'd make a mobil out of them and hang it above my bed or something. :lol:
