    My job bought Snag It and installed it at work. Well I want this program on my home computer.

    I do not have the registration info.

    How can I transfer it over to my home computer?

    Can I just copy all the files....or should I download it and then unlock it somehow?

    Point is I will be the only user using the program so the single user license is not being broken.

    If you copy all the files you'll stuff your computer. That's why programs have installers - so they can make all the necessary changes.

    If you try unlocking it you would probably need to get your hands on a cracked version and when you install a crack on your computer you run a serious risk of malware getting onto your computer. Apart from that, it's illegal.

    You could go wild and just license a copy if you want it so badly. :/

    Well, if you need it for doing work, ask your work to provide you a licensed copy for use outwith the office.

    If you just like playing with it, download a copy from cnet then buy a license. About $50.

    I guess you could always look for a serial online but they tend not to work and you just get sucked into downloading malware from some dodgy site or said dodgy site does a driveby download and your computer ends up sending out millions of buy-generic-viagra emails as part of a botnet.
