Can CD ROM Version be copied onto a laptop and iPad

[Guest Blen]

Hello, I am interested in the electronic version of the 11th edition. If I buy the CD ROM can I copy it on my laptop and ipad? Thanks

You could install it on your laptop (if your laptop runs Windows). The CD-ROM is only required for installation. It's not just a PDF or something, however - it uses the Folio Views software. So you cannot copy it to your iPad.

I understand there are conversion programs available that might let you run it on a Mac (or maybe an iPad).  Perhaps somebody with more expertise will weigh in.  I'm using it on my Windows laptop. I know somebody who I believe has done it (or at least tried to).  I will follow up with him.

I have it on my Windows Laptop, but could not find anyway to get it onto my IPad.

There are programs which will allow a user to emulate Windows on a Mac, which will enable installation of Folio Views. It is highly unlikely this would work on an iPad.
