Question
Can Final Draft v.8 be run as a portable application from a USB drive?
Answer
No
, Final Draft v. 8 must be installed onto the computer's hard drive. However, you can install the program on as many computers as you like; once the program's been installed, simply deactivate an activated computer and put that activation onto the computer you now want to use. You can move your activation(s) around from machine to machine any way you need to.
