Disk tie

A type of PC Access user authorization which resides on your computer's hard drive. You can uninstall a disk tie user authorization with the UAM, but you cannot back it up to tape, move it with DOS or Windows commands, or disturb it with a disk defragmenter (e.g., Norton SpeedDisk) or compression program (e.g., DBLSPACE). Before you run a disk defragmenter, make sure you have set it not to disturb files with system, hidden, read-only attributes. Before you run a disk compression program (which MFM advises against in any case), you must uninstall your disk tie user authorization with the UAM.

The User Authorization and License Information window shows whether you have the machine tie or disk tie form of user authorization.
