sometimes yes, sometimes no, it depends on the proprietary protections that the manufacturer places on their software.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

I have a cd (maybe dvd) from Adobe. My dvd player doesnt work right. Can I use another computer and copy the cd (maybe dvd) to a thumb drive and install it from the thumb drive. My other choice is to buy a dvd player that is usb, but I would rather copy to thumb drive. My question is Can I copy a cd (maybe a dvd) to a thumb drive and install software from thumb drive?
Thanks It usually depends on the program, I believe. If it's a portable program, you can. Otherwise, you can't. That's how I understand it.

FYI - external C/D drives are extremely cheap - have seen them on eBay or Amazon for $20 or $25 with USB connection. Software is usually on C/Ds but look at the disk and read what it says.
My personal experience has not been good when copying software as most of the good stuff is now well protrected.
What type of program are you wanting to install?
ETA - Adobe has pretty good protection. Just looked and Exrernal USB 2.0 C/D Burners which will also read start at $10 or even $15.

As Sarajese said, CD drives, and even DVD drives are really cheap.
