With regards to your comments on Siemens software, Siemens MicroWin (for the S7-200) is not copy protected, but the Siemens Step-7 (for the S7-300/400) is.
With regards to copy protection in general, many of the disk based copy protection systems cause computer security problems because they require the user to have Windows administrator (root) privileges. This tends to be very
unpopular with corporate IT departments as it violates all commonly accepted security standards. This problem is becoming serious and software vendors are going to have to address this very soon or they will find their products
banned from connections with many corporate networks.
