Doubtful -- RSA tends to be licensed on a per application per copy basis, not on a per human basis. If it was licensed on a per-human basis, I would have bought a personal "unlimited use" license long ago. Perry

If it was licensed on a per-human basis, I would have bought a personal "unlimited use" license long ago. Well, they sell licenses for RC2 and RC4 for $100 per, which are on a per-person basis. And something said to me at Weenix Expo by an RSA salesdroid implied that $100 could get one a generic kind of RSA license. I didn't press the point, and I don't have anything in writing, but they're happy to talk at 415.595.8782 if you want better than unsubstantiated hearsay... I'd call myself if I was ever awake during PST business hours... andrew
