CD-ROM Installation and Lending: Each book comes with a complete companies database on CD-ROM. We grant special licenses to libraries to install and lend these CDs. Within the library, you may do a full installation, using a key code, which allows for complete search, view and the export of data. For lending, your library patrons may do a “demo” installation, giving them full search and view capability, but no exports.
