A couple of years ago my department bought 7 or 8 copies of a program called MacSPICE
from a company called Deustche Research.  These were to be used in an undergraduate
lab.  Time passed and it came time to re-format the hard drives in the lab.  Now
however the MacSPICE can't be reinstalled... even with a virgin install disk it 
complains that it requires the master disk (remember it _used_ to work)

I've gotten it installed on our one removable hard drive by using an old IIx which I
didn't reformat.  This isn't much help.  We have approximately 15 students in the lab
at any given time.  

I've contacted the company and the only solution they would offer is to sell us a new
version of the software at full cost that uses a dongle.  

Does anyone know of a solution for this problem?  We are trying are hardest not to
ever deal with Deustche again for obvious reasons.  They do however seem to have a 
better interface than PSPICE IMHO.
