[quote who="ALMonty" reply="10" id="2070909"] A friend who switched to Mac gave me his stardock software This is curious to me, How exactly did he give you the software? You said you tried installing it which to me sounds like you didn't buy or was given a computer with the software on it.[/quote] He had the suite on his PC and gave me a burned disc with the software on it.

I believe that your friend agreed to the license by exchanging money for it. If you believe that the software has value to you, buy it. Just. Like. Your. Friend. Did.

By law they can't tell you you can't give something away as long as you're not retaining a copy. But that whole post was a waste of time, as my original question isn't being answered.

Problem being, I have a fairly small monitor (widescreen) with a maximum resolution of 1280x720 (which I run). Because of this, I can't even install; is there any way around this? <
