Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / July 2008running programs from usb memory chip?
I bought a cheap screen recorder program for recording stuff on Photoshop. Its against my company's policy to put my owned program on my mac at work. If I run the program from my memory chip, would the administrator notice and would it be considered installed on my workstation?

Only your administrator can tell you what he or she considers to have been "installed". That's a question of company policy, not technology.

Whether it would be depends on how diligent the admin is. b) Depends how much of a hard-a.s the admin (and the people to whom the admin reports) want to be that day. a.ses tend to harden when the owner of said a.s detects that someone is trying to weasel around the clear intent of a policy by arguing semantics. Strictly speaking, by launching the program you will "put your program on the Mac" in that it will be transferred into the machine's memory and begin to pass through the CPU. Signature"Harry?"
