Pro Tools software will not run without Digidesign Pro Tools hardware.
"Lending" software is a crime.
Purchase Digidesign Pro Tools hardware and it will come with a legal copy of the software.

Just a real world example of why Digidesign makes their software dependant on hardware.
Unless your friend lends you the hardware, you're SOL.

The all-knowing, all-seeing Digi must be pleased.
