answer:IMO unless you’re doing something with the license that may be questionable-e.g. installing on more than one computer, making a backup copy of the installer disk for safety, or reselling the software to someone else, I would think reading the SLA/EULA in most cases is not necessary. I tend to check the sections on permissible use because I sometimes install software on my laptop and my desktop (Al iMac); some software licenses permit you to install the s/w in this manner without having to obtain a second license (I know this to be the case with most Apple Pro Apps, and Adobe CS 3 in particular). And yeah-they tend to be really long! Most of it is “CYA” clauses and such…as in so many words “if you install our software on your machine and your machine takes a dumperoo, then we are not liable for the data loss.” That kind of thing.
