That's like paying Microsoft to transfer your Windows 98 O/S to another IBM
clone 486SX ... please what a waste of money!

So, bottom-line; To be legal you must "Still" transfer the lic, pay $500,
and your good to go. I just paid $399 for Win7 Pro 64 bit, so $500 for MPE
seems fair!
Additionally, if the box doesn't have a lic, then it can't be legally used,
right?
It would be great if I could run MPE in Virtual Box, or maybe VM.
Mike.
