 The Digital Rights Management (DRM) software in this program
 prevents it from running in CrossOver.  If you are in a legal jurisdiction
 which allows removal of such software, you may have luck running this  
 program.  Unfortunately, CodeWeavers, because they are subject to the
 Digital Millennium Copyright Act, will be unable to support you.
