how can i make a backup copy of a piece of software?


Welcome friend. We hope that you enjoy our little community here at Answers.

Couple ways for you ...

If it is to apply for a home and came to a CD or DVD, a copy of a CD or DVD. Be sure to back up your key information.

If you find the software by downloading, and then make a copy of the zip file or that you downloaded.

If the software was installed via the Internet, the best thing you can do in most cases is to save the relationship that you used to get the software.

If the software is a business app, then it is best to contact the seller and make their recommendations. Other than that, make a backup copy of the file system and put it on tape.

In all cases, be sure to save any custom configuration and installation locations.

Good luck and have fun. Welcome

Depeending on the software you use your computers simply Copying Software.
Remember all are not supposed to be copied, many have security keys from them.
And each operating system can be a little different with software copy, depending on the amount of RAM in your computer and Proccessor Speed.
Some are on DVD while others are on CD's
This is not as simple as putting in a CD or DVD copy and click. Sometimes, he may ask you to have the original disk at other times simply select the Software folder and copy it. It really depends on the part of the software you are trying to copy. Don
