Well, actually it dosen't have to modify the distribution disk.  If you just
copy the program onto a hard disk from a distribution disk you can then run
the hard disk copy.  Of course, it'll ask you to enter the serial number,
etc., but then you're only modifying the hard disk copy, not the
distribution copy.  After you demo it you can then delete the hard disk copy
and everything will be fine.

If the dealer dosen't let you do this then you should take your business
elsewhere.
