Can i install a program from a memory stick that was copied from a dvd?

[Cayotesr]

I have a computer that has no DVD drive, can I install a program that has been copied from a DVD to a memory stick?

Maybe. It it depends on the software and if it checks to see if the DVD has been copied or not.

The software I have purchased is Dragon Speech Recognition Software. On another computer do I just copy the software to the memory stick and try to install it on the drive-less computer?

Yes, just try it.

You should be able to simply copy and paste all the content from the DVD to the flash drive and then successfully install the software from the flash drive. The only time (generally speaking) that you run into a problem when doing this is if you're dealing with boot discs or copyrighted material, such as a movie or video game.

Let us know if a problem arises.
