Don't worry, with MS and Intel pushing Secured Computing
in through the back door, you'll only need to have one. Then what will happen is that you register with Wintel Secure Computing Centre, get you individual dongle that identifies you. You then get copies of what ever software you want, probably via Internet download, go to the WSCC and register your copy, paying for and being issued with a licence. This will be registered against your WSCC account, and any computer you plug your dongle into will automatically check your registered applications with the WSCC, and allow you access to the ones that it has installed and you're licenced for. No licence OK from the WSCC and you can't use it.

New systems from HP, Dell, etc will come with all the apps affilliated with the WSCC already installed, for free. You just pay your annual licence fees for access to WSCC and you various apps, and your dongle continues to work.

Please print and store this statement, and refer to it in 10 years time, and you can then say "Sheet, the little booger was right."
