My problem here is that I am trying to purchase two copies of VV3, one for myself and one for my daughter in another state.

I thought that I could simply make one purchase and it would have two sets of registration information, then I could forward one set to my daughter. But reading this thread made me a bit wary of that.
I called Plimus and received no help, except telling me to contact LDW about it. (I have sent an e-mail to you, but it is a three day week-end and I don't see receiving an e-mail until the middle of next week.)
At any rate (and thanks for letting me rant a bit here) if someone has an idea as to how I buy one for myself and one for my daughter (if it is a gift for her I ought to be the one to pay, right?) please let me know.
TIA

I've already had an e-mail response from LDW that was most satisfactory.
Thanks so much.
