Mcad 11 gave me all kinds of grief. Acronis Disk Director Suite 10
revealed that it writes a bunch of license-related stuff on absolute
sector 32. And now Mcad is not on my PC anymore. I would consider Mcad
again if they offered a single user FlexLM license in place of C_Dilla
(AKA the licensing system from Hell) at no additional cost.
