Have a look at this: What is a portable app? | PortableApps.com - Portable software for USB drives
Portable Photoshop will run quite happily from such a device BUT when you first run it, it attempts to write to the registry of the machine on which you are running it. When you remove the USB stick, the registry settings remain. If the user does not have write permissions on the target machine's HDD, it won't run at all.
Although there are perfectly legal portable applications available, I think you'll find most of them are open source (e.g. Firefox, OpenOffice etc.). I think the fact that Portable Photoshop isn't a truly portable application (for the reasons stated above) calls its legality into question. |

I'm still left behind when it comes to portable applications. I would be interested in something like this, but it were to break any terms & conditions, or worse, then I'd avoid at all costs. If I get caught with something illegal going onto someone elses PC I'm as good as screwed lol
