Yes indeed.  Before you can use the Bentley CD, you have to install and
register it.  Each copy of the CD comes with a label that has a unique
serial number that you would have to enter during the registration
phase.  Installing the same serial number in a second installation
would require a transfer code from the un-install of the first instance,
or you'd have to call Bentley to have them give you a code.
