The CD requires registration, and activation procedures.

This procedure "Ties" the CD to YOUR PC. There is a method to view the CD "off-line". This procedure is complicated.

I would recommend buying the paper book version only (unless you don't mind the above hassles).

Also, the CD is not Mac OS compatible!

One of the risks in purchasing ANY software where registration and activation is done over the Internet is that should the company go out of business, is sold, (or just lose interest in the product) you may find that you can no longer use it after changes in your software or hardware. This is because the software will not work until it has communicated with the "Mother Ship" again and authorized (we hope) your use of the software.

When you upgrade your computer hardware or operating system, the registration and activation procedures will likely have to be done again, and may not work.

I have no criticism of the data contained in either the book, or the CD. The data, (if / once you can finally look at it) is terrific.

This LARGE print, hard-cover Machinist manual is absolutely great. The large print for me is a god-send. Perfect...
