COBOL for sale?

Does anyone have or know of anyone who has, an old version of Fujitsu
NetCOBOL they would be prepared to sell?

This is the bog standard native code for Windows version of the compiler; I
do NOT want copies of the CIL generating NetCOBOL for .Net.

I am looking for any version from v6 or above.

Don't need PowerCOBOL, PowerForms, or any utilities; am only interested in
the NetCOBOL compiler and IDE (which is provided through PowerGem).

If you can help, please contact me privately.

Cheers,

Pete.

NetCOBOL 6 is 'protected' by a licence number and the need to get a
'key' from the Fujitsu (or some other) server. Given that 6 was more
than a decade ago, it may be difficult to get a usable key, especially
if you aren't the registered owner.

It is possible to move the key from one working machine to another,
but it needs to initialize the move media on the destination and then
write the key on the original (which disables that copy) before
putting the key onto the new copy.

So that would be a "no", then? Gee, thanks for your help...

(It is possible to transfer a v6 (or any CASPER based licence key) to
another party/machine, and I am fully familiar with the steps needed
to effect this.)
