Question that support ignored

I tried contacting the customer support from whoever distributes this (I forget the name, starts or ends in micro I think) asking about ordering the online download with a backup disc. But before I order it, I have a few questions about it:
-If I order the backup disc and I decide to buy a new computer, will I have any trouble using the software on the new one?
-Can I use the backup disc to install on a computer without internet access?
-Can I use the backup disc to install on more than one computer at a time?
Thanks for the help.

From the versions I have in use here I can say I can install it on whatever machine I want, as long as it's the correct OS.

In the installation folder there is a readme subfolder wher you can find the License.txt file. There you can find the answer to your first and last questions.
For the second question I think that there is not problem to not have internet access.

I have a better solution for you.
1. Buy the program but don't buy the backup disc.
2. Before or after you install the program, (it's not really important), burn the install file on to a blank CD or DVD, depending on the size of the file.
3. Enjoy the fact that you have a backup disc without having to pay way too much money to be able to protect your digital assets. Also enjoy the knowledge that when you go down to your local watering hole with your mates you have at least two more drinks worth of money to spend.
This works with any program, regardless of platform.

I think I'll go with that, I just saw the price of a backup CD. There's no point in paying $10 just for a backup when I can do it myself.

exactly. I found a pro version online for $95. That's much better than $200.

if you are a student at any institution, you can buy these from gradware.com. That's where I'm purchasing AS 6 Pro. I saw manga studio there. The only downside is you need to provide proof of enrollment at a school. a slass schedule or ID card should suffice, but I'm not sure.
