I did a search some times ago for Fritz with friends but I couldn't find anything. Obvious I would try an auto232 match between those two copies. Another program you even get more advantage is with Chess Assistant. Here you can distribute analyses to several machines, could be different positions in the same game or try different alternatives in one position. But with CA you have to have one license each machine you want to use. There is a legal backdoor here with using ssh server etc. and only having engines (wb or uci) on the other macines, but this could get too technical for most. Another question is what is common sense, they can't force on you a license that is unaceptable if this wasn't stated before you bought the program. It is a buying contract so it is too late to come with anything after they got their money. Odd Gunnar
