There exists an entire industry of computer geeks who are looking for ways to proved copy protection so that people can't do exactly what you're describing. They want you to BUY the application rather than make copies of it. Depending on the level of copy protection involved, it can be as simple as copying the disk or copying the application and associated files all the way up to virtually impossible. Some companies don't worry about it, others have imbedded a small amount of data at a specific address on a CD. When the CD is copied, the data isn't technically in a file, so the data isn't copied. During installation, the application may search the disk for that data using their own direct addressing methods and if the data isn't there or the wrong information is there, the application will fail and may actually cause damage on it's way down, depending on how malicious the programmer was. In general, if you don't already know how to do it, don't bother.

most software comes with autorun so when the CD/DVD is inserted into the drive it should startautomatically and all you need to do is read and follow the installation instructions

but sometimes we get copied CD's or DVD's and the autorun doesn't work.

your computer should have a autorun on the CD/DVD drive that will ask what you want to do e.g. play the disc or open it.

if it prompts you this way and doesn't give you the autorun which should be on the disc

simply click on open/explore and then click OK!

if you look through the files and icons on the disc you should find a folder or icon named autorun or setup clicking on one of these should do the trick then simple follow the onscreen installation instructions

if the auto run on your PC is disabled you may see no effect at all, in this case look for the MY COMPUTER icon on your desktop or in the top of your start menu clicking on this will take you to your drives, in most cases there are two drives one should be named local "C" drive and the other CD/DVD "D" your looking for the "D" drive (note this drive may take on the name of the CD/DVD in the drive but the drive letter "D" will always be the same") right clicking on this drive will give you a drop down select explore or open and look for the autorun or setup folder/icon the read and follow the installation instructions

to enable the autorun on you "D" drive right click on the drive and go to properties

click the tab auto run and reset the default settings for the drive
